"I first had this at a friend's daughter's wedding reception and had to have the recipe. My friend made this for 150 guests. There are three key's to this recipe: 1. Mayonnaise, not Miracle Whip, 2. poultry seasoning, and 3. time in the frig. There are numerous other options; I think I've tried them all and are always asked for the recipe, so here 'tis."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a Midwesterner, turned Northwesterner for 30 years and finally a Southwesterner. I retired in 1995 and have had time to enjoy, even more, the things I love, like cooking and entertaining special people in our home--family and good friends. Fortunately, my husband enjoys cooking too (one pot meals), so he relieves me a few times a month.
