For those who like things a little tangier, try using dill pickle relish instead.

One member even wrote, “To each their own…for me a big fat NO!”

I was surprised by some of the ingredients but I followed the recipe as planned.

The only thing I would say is its a lot of chopping!!

Therefore it took me a lot longer to make.

However, it is a good potato salad.

You too might be surprised by how much you like it.
