I made this today for a moving party. Tasted it and it is really good. All I changed was not adding the cuccumber. They don't agree with me too well plus what another reviewer said about having the seeds in there. Couldn't find a seedless one right now. I also added some fresh ground pepper. The Dijon mustard really gives it a kick. Oh and I did add a little dribble of pickle juice. I'll let you know how it goes over.

I ADORE this salad! I have one recommendation straight away though, I would only use an English cucumber, I think the seeds in the salad would not be appealing. I used elbow mac (Dreamfields, cutting back on carbs) and light miracle whip. I cut the Dijon in half as I am not the biggest mustard fan. For the salt I used a smoky seasoned salt and added some pepper. For added crunch, I added minced onion and finely chopped celery, and some roasted red pepper for color. I also suggest the sitting overnight. The cucumbers keep this salad very moist and fresh tasting. A winner for sure!

I thought this was a nice, uncomplicated salad that uses simple, basic ingredients I keep around all the time. I used low-fat mayo and upped the dijon mustard just a bit. This made a very enjoyable lunch. Thanks for posting a great recipe.

This salad will be served a lot at my house!!! The only change I made was to use light Mircle Whip instead of Mayo. This will go well with our BBQ's this summer! Thanks Marsha!

This was delicious and made with maryland crab cakes recipe #8696 by Leslie O. I omitted cucumber and carrots and used elbow noodles as that is my children's preference. yummy flavor! thank you
