For a spicier kick, try using a flavored mayonnaise, such as sriracha mayo, or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. If you don't have red onion, yellow onion or scallions can be substituted. For the best flavour, dice the onions as finely as possible. This chicken salad is best enjoyed within 2-3 days of making it. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container. To lighten up the recipe, substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt or sour cream. For a smoother texture, use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients.
