There are a few salads that you just have to learn and have in your stash of great recipes that wow guests without draining you of your energies. The ingredients are straight forward and you can improvise with ones that catch your interest.
Sealing this salad with mayo and then covering it up and letting it sit overnight will guarantee that people will ask you for the recipe.
Don't be afraid of the onion, it's more flavorful than over powering as long as you chop it up, add it to the salad and let it 'set'. The pungency will mellow but the flavor will stay and give a rounded feel to the entire salad. You can forego the onion, I have on several occasions. In that case, try adding some fresh chives for a bit of a kick.
I grew up on this salad as a 'Party Salad'. It was always at any family function that my mom was having. Always. So it must be like 40 years old this recipe, at least.
Kids LOVE this salad. I mean they will eat it. Especially if it's done in advance and your kids aren't salad lovers. This will make them salad lovers. I'm not sure if it's the mayonnaise or the cheese or the hard boiled eggs that do it but whatever the magic combination here, kids will eat it.
I will finalize by saying that it's great leftover if you have any. Roll it up in wraps for a light day-after-the party lunch.
