It was very good. We omitted the mustard and ketchup because we used our own homemade mayonnaise for this recipe and it already had mustard in . I doubled it and added a can of salmon and it was gobbled up at our church picnic.
i must try it ..... www.botagaz.com
Too sweet for me...I should have known when Miracle Whip was listed as a main ingredient! But it's a very flexible recipe...you can probably throw in just about whatever you like. (I added chopped eggs, walnuts and black olives.) Overall we enjoyed it... I might even make it again if I can figure our how to unsweeten it a bit.
My daughter just loved this. The dressing is much better than plain old mayo, though I did add a generous pinch of seasoned salt to it. I also added a couple of chopped hard-boiled eggs. Chopped radishes would also be a good addition.
I use this dressing for other salads as well--easily can substitute fat-free mayo or veggie ingredients to your liking. I sometimes leave out the meat completely.
i would add to this recipe chopped green pepers & substitute black olives for the pimientos
