You will need about 6 eggs for this size. After both the potatoes and eggs are cooled, peel both and dice into a medium sized bowl. Add mayonaise (not Miracle Whip or salad dressing) to the desired consistency. It may take a little more than a cup. Now add about two tablespoons of mustard. Salt and pepper and add a few shakes of the onion flakes. Stir this all together and refrigerate. If you want, you can boil 8 eggs, saving two to garnish with. Simply slice the eggs with an egg slicer and layer the top of your salad. Sprinkle a small amount of paprika and you have a delicious salad to be proud of. Even if you don't normally make salads, this is an easy to make recipe that will recieve great reviews! Slice your watermelon into managable pieces and add small grape clusters. Finally, complete your meal with breadsticks. Bakeries have wonderful flavors of breadsticks. Find a fun basket, line it with a cloth napkin and add the breadsticks. What a great and simple meal to serve at your next gathering! Flavored ice tea will compliment this meal. Forego the pop, the kids don't need all the sugar! Make smoothies for the kiddies at your party! Get out your blender, add one can of concentrated frozen orange juice, one package of frozen whole strawberries, and four large scoops of vanilla ice cream, use milk to thin the mix as needed. Oh this is good.
