For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of sweet pickle relish or a splash of apple cider vinegar to the dressing. To prevent the salad from drying out, add a little extra mayonnaise just before serving. This salad is best served chilled. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
