For a tangier dressing, use a little more vinegar. If you don't have apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar or distilled white vinegar can be substituted. Consider adding a pinch of celery seed to the dressing for added depth of flavor. Red onion, finely diced, also makes a great addition to the salad.
