To lighten this up a little you could substitute 1/2 of the mayo with plain yogurt and use only 1/2 the amount of sugar. I don't know if you are interested in this one but my sister gave me this recipe and it's delicious too.

yep jazzcat, that was it, but i can't believe the nutritional content. this is why i never eat any of the salads in the deli, they always taste so good, but aren't good for you. i'm going to try to lighten it up a bit, maybe w/ turkey bacon?

want to make something different for my daughter's teacher appreciation luncheon on friday.

thanks again, tammy
