Good recipe I would not recommend to add any smoked meats. Just add some cooked and then diced chicken breast. Also add some mashed garlic (about 1 clove), chopped parsley/dill into your mayo sauce.
Another tip... Do not add mayo to all of your salad right away if you make more than you can eat. Add mayo right before you serve it.
The recipe was very good. Julia M.
There is a name for this salad Its called Olivie (after Olivie DeBef, the french cook who came up with the recipe).
Also, just cooked chicken breast works great. You can try it without carrots and use SOUR pickles...
No party in our family is ever without this salad!!! Lina
