For an extra creamy salad, use full-fat mayonnaise. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or celery, for added crunch. If you don't have white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar works well as a substitute. Taste and adjust seasonings before refrigerating, as flavors will develop over time.
