My sister brought this salad to our 4th of July cookout last year and it was a big hit. I only needed half the recipe for my wiener roast tonight. Just double the recipe if feeding more than four. My daughter, which hates mayonnaise based salads loves this one. One of her friends was here and took the recipe home with her. She was going home to make some to take to work for her lunch. Enjoy!
