Notes
Chilling the salad before serving improves the flavor and texture.
Add extra mayonnaise or a spoonful of sour cream for a creamier salad.
Use dill pickles instead of sweet relish for a tangier flavor.
Customize the salad with bell peppers, bacon, or radishes for added crunch and flavor.
Greek yogurt can replace part of the mayonnaise for a lighter option.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
