For an extra layer of flavor, toast the walnuts lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the salad. This enhances their nutty aroma and adds a delightful crunch. Feel free to experiment with different types of mayonnaise. A light or even homemade mayonnaise can add a unique twist to the dressing. This salad can be prepared a day in advance, allowing the flavors to meld together even further. Just be sure to store it in the refrigerator.
