    Haystack Salad?

    Published: Apr 23, 2014 · Updated: Apr 23, 2014 by Kevin Williams | 6 Comments

    We've talked about Amish haystacks on this site plenty of times.  Haystacks are an Amish culinary staple, a fun meal of layered foods piled on a plate.bfasthaystack There are breakfast haystacks, (my personal favorite) made with eggs, biscuits, gravy, cheese and anything else from the morning meal that you can pile on.  Then there are the traditional supper haystacks, some of them take a Mexican flair.  But this is a new variation on the haystack that an Amish woman sent me recently: a salad haystack.  Perfect for spring, although I'm just not sure about the mayonnaise mixed with pickle juice.

      Sounds like another great recipe! The dressing is interesting - mayo with pickle juice and sugar! How about crumbling in some bacon too?

      Wonder if the mayo, pickle juice and sugar were the forerunners of Miracle Whip, etc. salad dressings? My mom always made ours and when I was a kid she made the mayo. xxxo

      The mayo/pickle juice combo is fairly common among older members of my mother's family. She herself prefers it to any kind of bottled dressing or any other kind of dressing you make yourself. I love it when it is made with pickle juice from her homemade bread and butter pickles.

      I grew up eating this dressing. My mom put it on salads and in her cole slaw. It is very good.
