  1. Great recipe...tastes like what our grandmothers used to make...very creamy and not too vinegary! Yummy!
     
  2. Easy to make - I used salt and sugar substitute, sourcream for dressing, rice vinegar and added some dill. I was looking for a good basic recipe and this is the best, even without the dill. Carol H., Naples, Fl.
     
  3. This has a great taste, and it's so easy to make. I had forgotten about this "salad", thanks for the recipe and the reminder!
