💡 Tips:

• For extra creaminess, add a little more mayo or yogurt.
• For a tangy kick, you can add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar or a splash of pickle juice.
• This salad keeps well in the fridge for 1–2 days, making it perfect for meal prep.

If you want, I can also give you a spicy version with a bit of chili and paprika that really elevates the flavor. Do you want me to make that version too?
