Used different ingredients. I replaced onion and capsicum with corn kernels and finely chopped celery. The kids loved it. - 31 Jan 2009
Nice flavor. The thousand island dressing gives this salad quite a bit of sweetness. I found I didn't need the salt, but did add a bit of black pepper and some defrosted frozen green peas for color. This recipe, as written, makes A LOT of salad. I only made half the recipe and ended up using less than half the amount of dressing called for even after I adjusted the recipe amounts. - 30 May 2013
