I added red wine vinegar, stuffed green olives, a touch of garlic powder and a fistful of curry powder. Good stuff. -
Delicious - this reminded me of a salad my Mom used to make. I used Miracle Whip becuase we like it better for salads. Love the kick the horseradish gives it. This is a great summer salad to enjoy in the heat. -
Very good! Nice clean taste. I used both shrimp and imitation crab. I printed it out to place in my cookbook. Will certainly make this again. Thank you. -
Excellent! A wonderful dish for a hot summer day. I made it using imitation crab meat instead of shrimp. Also used a Vidalia onion as Bermuda onions were not available. Other than that, followed the recipe as close as I could. I will fix it again.

This was delicious. I had to omit the green pepper, because my daughter won't eat them and only had red onions. I added a half of an english cucumber and didn't use the radishes as they were optional. I increased the horseradish as I felt it needed a little more kick.:)
