For a tangier flavor, try adding a tablespoon of pickle relish or a splash of pickle juice. If you prefer a creamier salad, add an extra 1/4 cup of mayonnaise. This salad is a great make-ahead dish for picnics and potlucks. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Consider adding other vegetables like diced celery, bell pepper, or pimentos for added texture and flavor. For a lighter version, use light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt in place of some of the regular mayonnaise.
