Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Recommend using Hellman's mayonnaise. Sometimes I use red onion, other times yellow. Sometimes I use fresh parsley and other times dried parsley. It always comes out delicious.
