Smith Bros. shared this recipe with the Milwaukee Sentinel in 1982. My father who was a a Hellman’s mayo or nothing kind of guy and who hated green peppers may have passed on this salad, but the rest of us loved it. And if you agree with my dad, you can swap the ingredients, I will not tell.

Ingredients:

1 qt. boiled potatoes diced

1 qt. Miracle Whip salad dressing

3 T. sugar

1/4 t. yellow food coloring

3/4 c. diced celery

3/4 c. diced green pepper

1/4 c/ diced onion

1/2 c/ dried sweet red pepper

Directions:

Mix all the ingredients and chill 24 hours before serving.

My hubby’s wonderful mom would make this salad every Christmas, and it was my father-in-law’s favorite. One year, Christmas was at my house, and this cranberry salad had to travel. Unfortunately, the glass bowl holding the salad broke in transit. My father-in-law could not bear to see it thrown away and ate it anyway … it is that good!
