Too much sugar (cut in half) and too much liquid (3cups would be plenty). Salad did not congeal enough. It was runny even after overnight in the refrigerator. I spent a lot of money on the ingredients - well over $10 - and was very disappointed how it turned out. I am an old cook and should have mad adjustments from the start.
