Recipe Notes
The salad was good, but I remembered as we ate it, that originally I used Miracle Whip instead of Hellmann’s. Something was not quite like the old recipe and I think that was it. Next time Miracle Whip it will be.
The salad is great for lunch or dinner and keeps well for several days. Kids love it for the fruit and you sneak in the celery!
When you run low, serve it as a side.
Enjoy
