What? No chopped celery??!!!! Oh My! <G> My recipe is a little
different. I add chopped celery and never use pickles/juice nor dill.
I will add poppy seeds and worchestershire sauce along with some tabasco
sauce, chili powder and a dash of red pepper. Oh, also a wee bit of
lemon juice. I think I'm forgetting something too -- oh, I know - a tad
bit of garlic powder (insert choice of garlic) also. Sometimes, for a
kick, it's fun to add some curry powder, too. Chopped green onions give
a good visual contrast, and taste, too!
