I have to confess I made this with sour cream instead of yogurt so it wasn't lightened up . I also added some pickles because I prefer a sour taste to the sweet pickle flavor (I added sweet pickles too). This is a perfect week night dish that comes together quickly and is delicious. Recipe courtesy of Classic Pillsbury Cookbook Cool Salads and Sizzling BBQ. NOTE: 5/13/12 I made this again lightened up , and it was terrific. I used dill pickles instead of sweet pickle relish, but I did not miss the mayonnaise in this recipe. Ingredients:
