    I am going to try this soon. We used to go to the family style restaurants in Lancaster County all the time when we visited relatives in Pa. Their food was always amazing! I might leave out the sugar just to see how it is. Have you done that?

      Actually I use splenda instead of sugar for most foods. I never trade it though on my cheesecakes. I love the family restaurants in Lancaster. We used to go to a HUGE one with multiple rooms of buffets when we visited my son. I know it was about 30 minutes away. Wish I could remember the name. I need to ask him. Have a great week!

    Hi Marilyn…….this looks like a great salad. Always looking for something different to bring to a pot luck. Can you use Miracle Whip instead of mayo?

    Reply
    • Marilyn

      February 5, 2018 at 1:11 PM

      You sure can substitute miracle whip for mayo. In my kitchen I never use mayo anymore. I don’t think my kids know what mayo is! Have a great week!

    That looks so delicious. I will have to try this one next time I bbq. I haven’t used sour cream before, maybe that’s the key to keeping it from getting dry.

    • Marilyn

      February 4, 2018 at 6:36 PM

      The sour cream makes it creamier as well. I like to use a mixture of half that and half mayo sometimes. Have a great week!

    I think that the Amish very much like eggs in most of their salads. I seem to remember that always being the case in the days when I used to go to Amish country regularly.

      Adding mixture of diced up bell peppers really adds some extra color to the mixture as well
