GRANDPA DRESSING (SALAD)



Grandpa Dressing (Salad) image

This is a childhood memory from when I grew up in Germany. Over the years my Dad has added a touch to it here and there. My kids just love this dressing. It originally was tossed with Boston Bib lettuce, but you can use it on most greens.

My Dad's Favorite Macaroni Salad image

This is my aunt's recipe which my father loves. She used to make it every year at Christmas. I'm not a fan of pickles so I've made it, leaving the relish out and really enjoy it.
