Notes
Variations
- Onion - If you are not a fan of red onion you can substitute thinly sliced green onion, finely diced shallots, or even fresh chives for a milder onion flavor.
- Mustard - For a slightly more sophisticated flavor give Dijon a try in place of the yellow mustard.
- Herbs - Add dried or fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or tarragon. Start with a very small amount, taste, and go from there.
- Bold flavor boosts - Add some sweet pickle relish, a little crumbled bacon, chopped olives, or a touch of curry powder.
- Lighten it up - Substitute some of the mayonnaise for non-fat Greek yogurt.
