Fredia made this for every family reunion, potluck, etc. She got really tired of making it, but always carried through. You can add any ingredients you wish.

Sounds really good Billy! Would it be horrible if I switched the sweet pickle to dill???
You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!

Sounds good, Billy. Who's in charge of making it now, need I ask?
Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.

No Jean, no need to ask.

Sharon, I had always switched to dill relish, but the family doesn't like mine as well.

Sounds good Billy! I prefer macaroni salad over potato salad any day...my family would disagree. I win sometimes though. Copied and saved.
