Notes

For an extra crunch, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts. Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a healthier twist. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your preference. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. For a unique flavor, try adding a splash of pickle juice to the dressing.
