For a richer flavor, use extra-sharp Cheddar cheese. Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your liking. Some prefer a creamier salad, while others prefer a lighter dressing. If you don't have Beau Monde seasoning, you can substitute with a pinch of nutmeg and a dash of onion powder. This salad can be made up to 2 days in advance. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consider adding other vegetables, such as diced red onion or black olives, for added texture and flavor.
