I would suggest using less Miracle Whip, it was all I could taste (yuk!) and too runny to form a ball. However, I served it in a chip-n-dip bowl with crackers and who would have guessed.......my very picky husband LOVED it! He even asked me to make it to take on a car trip. Wow! Thanks for making my hubby happy. :o)

I had to make this without the nuts (can't eat them). I did not use any miracle whip or liquid from the oilves. It came out as more of a spread; no way could I have shaped it into a ball. It made a very nice sandwhich spread though & I would make this again.

The best there is. I have made this for years, omitting the olives due to a personal dislike for them, and I roll it in paprika instead of nuts.
