For a tangier salad, add an extra squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a pinch of sugar or a teaspoon of honey. Feel free to customize the vegetables! Diced bell peppers, peas, or carrots are great additions. For a lighter option, use light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt in place of some of the regular mayonnaise. This salad is best served cold, but can be made a day ahead of time. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
