For a tangier flavor, substitute a tablespoon of lemon juice for some of the salad dressing. Consider adding a handful of crumbled cooked bacon for a smoky, savory twist. If you don't have sweet onion, red onion can be substituted, but be sure to mince it very finely and soak it in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow the flavor. Fresh peas, blanched briefly, can be used in place of canned peas when in season.
