For a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of apple cider vinegar. If you prefer a creamier salad, increase the amount of mayonnaise. Serve on your favorite bread with crisp lettuce leaves, or enjoy on top of a bed of mixed greens for a lighter option. Consider adding a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and nutty flavor.
