For a richer flavor, use full-fat mayonnaise and sour cream. Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce for extra zing. Feel free to customize with other vegetables like chopped red onion, bell pepper, or shredded carrots. For a healthier version, use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. If you don't have time to refrigerate for 24 hours, chilling for at least 2 hours will still improve the flavor.
