Recipe notes

  • Instead of pecans, you could try cashews, peanuts, sliced water chestnuts, or croutons. Or, just omit.
  • For the mayonnaise, we used fat-free. You could use any mayo of course, or whipped salad dressing such as Miracle Whip, or Salad Cream in the UK. A blend of any of those with low-fat sour cream, if you have on hand, is nice for a bit of added tang to lighten the dish.
  • Nice made a few hours in advance and chilled in the fridge, to allow the flavours to marry.
  • If you have any DIY Ranch Dressing Mix to hand, a tablespoon or two in the dressing could be nice.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge covered and use within 2 to 3 days.

“Many recipes in circulation on the Internet are not really canning, as they do not have Boiling Water or Pressure Canning processes applied to the filled jar. “
