Variations & Tips

For a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the mayonnaise mixture. You can also substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise for a lighter version. If you’re a fan of citrus, try adding some orange or lime zest for an extra burst of flavor. For a more substantial meal, serve the salad over a bed of mixed greens or inside a hollowed-out tomato for a beautiful presentation.
