I read a lot of the reviews before making this. I had to make it for a large crowd. I was pretty much able to double everything except I only used 1 large red pepper. I minced the onion, celery and pepper fine so there wouldn't be large chunks of the veggies. I added about 1 cup of finely shredded carrot for color. I only had sweet pickle relish and I only used 2 Tbsp. of that so it wouldn't be overpowering. I used 8 eggs. I used 1/2 cup of sugar in the dressing (remember I doubled the recipe) and cut the mustard to 2-3 Tbsp. I used cider vinger and added some black pepper and garlic powder. I didn't have celery seed so I had to use celery salt and cut the amount down. I made this the afternoon before my function. I added just enough dressing to moisten at that time, then added some more before going to bed. I added the rest of the dressing the next morning and it needed every bit of it. I ended up making 1 more batch of dressing but only needed about 1/4 of it to moisten at the party I took it to. I'll use the extra dressing for egg salad or potato salad. I had quite a few people ask me for the recipe but my mother-in-law just had to tell me "it was o.k. but it was too sweet". No surprise there, she critiques everything I make! I will definitely make this again but would try to cut the prep down by boiling the eggs and making the dressing ahead of time. Thanks for a great recipe!
