For a tangier flavor, try using a combination of mayonnaise and sour cream in the dressing. Add shredded cheddar cheese or crumbled blue cheese for an extra layer of flavor. Customize the vegetables with your favorites, such as chopped bell peppers, cucumber, or celery. For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add toasted nuts or seeds for crunch. Make sure to drain the water chestnuts thoroughly to prevent a soggy salad.
