Notes

  • To reduce the calorie content of the dish, consider replacing 1/2 cup of mayo with Greek yogurt.
  • Replace the mayo with miracle whip if desired.
  • Do not let this dish sit out long. When not being eaten, cover it and return it to the fridge so it stays nice and fresh.
  • The amount of dressing you use is up to you! Consider cutting back on the mayo to make it a less creamy salad.
  • Let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving for the best flavor results.
