Notes

  • Use real mayonnaise. Miracle whip will be too sweet as will low fat and/or fat free mayonnaise.
  • 1 tablespoon sweet Gherkin pickle, minced, adds just the right amount of flavor.
  • Be sure to measure everything as specified in the recipe then mix it together and let it chill. Once chilled, give it a taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking as needed.
