Made this for an office get together and it was hit,just about everyone asked for the recipe. I used 1/2 vidalla onion and 1 clove of garlic in place of the onion powder and garlic salt.

I didn`t use jar pimento stuffed, and used onion powder instead of onion salt,skipped the salt, 1 teaspoon seasoning salt,and used garlic powder instead of 1 teaspoon garlic salt. With all the canned and jarred stuff I nkew the salt content would be high. I also cut down on the vinegar to half a cup. It came out so very good. I tasted it as soon as I mixed the dressing in and after it chilled. So GOOD! Thanks for a recipe that I WILL be making again and agian.
