For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the almonds lightly before chopping. If you prefer a tangier salad, add a tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to the mayonnaise. This salad can be prepared a day in advance. The flavors will deepen overnight. Consider adding other vegetables such as diced celery or red bell pepper for extra crunch and color.
