For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of sweet pickle relish or a splash of apple cider vinegar to the dressing. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon of granulated sugar or honey to the dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. For a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice. This salad is best served chilled. Allow it to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. The dressing may thicken upon refrigeration. If needed, stir in a tablespoon or two of milk to reach your desired consistency.
