"I was a little leary of mixing vinaigrette with miracle whip in the same salad because I was not sure how that would taste but it turned out a lot better than expected. I also wasn't sure about the basil being added but again it was ok. I should have halved the recipe for just us but it would be a nice size to take to a potluck."
