Notes

Feel free to substitute ingredients based on what you have on hand; yellow onions can replace red, and green beans can be swapped for asparagus or celery. Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a lighter dressing, consider mixing half mayonnaise with half yogurt or using a vinaigrette. Adding extra herbs or picking a different potato variety can enhance the flavor of your salad. Enjoy experimenting with your version!
