miracle whip salad dressing

Steps:

1. I use whatever chicken I have leftover. My husband loves it when I use cold KFC. You don't have to remove the breading or skin unless you want to. Just cube or chop into small pieces.
2. Wash all fruit and pat dry. Core apples and chop into small pieces along with any other fresh fruit and celery. Make sure walnuts are about the same size.
3. In a medium bowl mix Miracle Whip, salt, lemon juice and sugar until sugar and salt are dissolved. Add chopped ingredients. Refrigerate overnight.
4. Serve on fresh banana bread.
5. This is a great dish to take on picnics, and road trips. It always make a hit at potlucks and church socials or as a cold supper with a salad and jello.
