Well today's blog posting is offering you a salad makeover! Monday May 25th I posted a recipe for Cucumber Potato Salad with Ranch Dressing. I lightened up the dish using low fat buttermilk and lite Miracle Whip and lite sour cream. It did not compromise the taste still retaining its great flavor. I did make the new edits to original recipe posted on Monday.
