Favorite Salad Dressing (Makes a little more than 2 quarts)
ingredients:
2 qts mayonnaise
4-5 hard boiled eggs
16 oz sweet bread and butter chips (pickles)
1 – 6 oz. can of olives
1 – 12 oz. bottle chili sauce
DIRECTIONS: Put pickles and olives through food chopper. Chop hard boiled eggs. Mix with mayonnaise in large bowl. Mix chili sauce in to taste and pink in color. Let dressing sit in refrigerator overnight or for several hours. This will flavor the mix. I put the dressing back in the 2 qt Mayonnaise jars and label it. You can store it in the refrigerator for a long time if they don’t eat it up quickly!
