For a lighter version, substitute half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. Add a tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill for a burst of freshness. Serve this salad on croissants, lettuce cups, or with crackers. You can also enjoy it as a filling for deviled eggs or as a topping for avocado toast.
