Super easy
The flavors this has is amazing.
Also the looks is off the hook. How ever you make it it will deserve a photo for sure.
Decided to try this because the pickling add ons were outside of the norm & looked interesting. I made this while visiting & experimenting on family & everyone loved it. The salad by itself was delish but the pickled beets, onions & egg put it over the top. Definitely plan on trying the other recipes on this site.
