For a creamier salad, substitute half of the mayonnaise with sour cream or Greek yogurt. Add a can of drained and rinsed corn for extra sweetness and texture. Consider incorporating other vegetables like diced red onion, chopped tomatoes, or even some grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal. This salad is best served chilled, and leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
