Simply tasty

I was a little concerned how this would turn out since it called for so little mayo and I don't like red bell peppers in any form, so was hesitant to add to the recipe but wanted to try it with no modifications. Turns out you can't really taste them. All these flavors blend together nicely. Note this is celery heavy, but I actually like it that way. Especially great with crackers due to that little kick of salt.
