Very tasty! I omitted the pickles as that was something my mom used to add in for dad all the time when I was young and I did not like it then. Plus my kids are not fans of pickles either and I wanted them to eat it. We normally use Miracle Whip on our potato salad so this was a nice change of pace. Thanks for sharing!
