Great salad with lots of veggies! I quartered the recipe and it made two meals for me. I ate as a salad but would be great in a sandwich or with chips or on crackers. I chopped the carrots, celery, walnuts and bell pepper in the food processor. I didn't have dill pickles, so used bread and butter pickles. Thanks for a yummy lunch! Made for the vegetarian swap-Oct. 2011.
