I first made this in 1994. I'm rating in 4 stars because I did add 1/4 cup celery, diced fine, 1/4 cup pecan pieces, and salt to taste. Very good. I was going to post it, but found it already listed. Thanks. -
Oh yum - delicious and easy-easy! I had everything on hand for this when unexpected guests dropped in yesterday. I made the recipe exactly as posted except to omit the olives (DH doesn't like). I ended up with 24 generous appetizers - must have put more topping on each chip, but the guests devoured the whole tray. I would make this again as this recipe is very versatile - you could add other things to the mix depending what you have on hand. Thanks, Sharlene!

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
