This recipe is a bit time consuming but the product is worth every minute. You'll wish you had doubled it! After you have tried it, you may wish to make additions, deletions or variations and thats ok as long as you remember that it is the texture that gives you a different taste with almost every bite.
Place all
'prepared' ingredients in a large mixing bowl, add one half of the sugar
and celery salt. Stir and toss easily to distribute evenly. Taste for
sweetness and spicing, add remaining if desired plus add lemon juice and
toss lightly.
Now stir in 1/2 of Miracle Whip and continue adding only until it binds
all of the ingredients.
Serve immediately
or refrigerate.
