This is a wonderful salad to have with a braai and also a great light meal on it’s own. It keeps well in the fridge too so it is perfect for left-overs the next day. This was originally made with Miracle Whip, but I have not been able to find that in the shops lately. It does not work well with other mayonnaise so try and find the Excella Wonderwhirl Salad Cream which I found at Checkers.
