Created this because I'm not a big fan of mayo based salads. I make it a lot over the summer and it always disappears. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and friends do!! This could easily have artichokes, mushrooms, pepperoni or any number of other ingredients added to it to make it as you want for your family.
