Made half the recipe this morning and tried a few bites still warm. Yum! I used celery salt in place of the seeds and salt. The dressing had a sweet-sour taste like brocolli salad dressing. Chilled it well and enjoyed it with leftover chilled Recipe #413204 for a nice picnic lunch. Thanks for posting Vicki. Made for Zwizzle Chicks for ZWT6. Edited 6/26: I made this with 1 lb sea shell macaroni, red onion, and 3 eggs. Made the dressing as posted and chilled it overnight. I had a sample for breakfast and it was fantastic! This is for a BBQ today and I am looking forward to it!

Ya got the Zesties too! Loved this. The sugar was an excellent addition, especially after not having it before in potato salad. I had some celery from the garden and added that too. Great salad, and one I can use lots! Made for ZWT 6 Zesties!

I'm with my friend, PottyPie. Very, very similar to the potato salad that has been a staple in our family. The only difference was the addition of the sugar. I loved this served next to the baked beans I made. They just cried out to each other! Thnx for sharing your recipe, Vicki. Made for a fellow Voracious Vagabond in ZWT 6.
