Expert Tips and Tricks

• For extra flavor, try adding crispy bacon bits or chopped pickles to the salad.
• Don’t overcook the potatoes! They should be tender but still hold their shape for the perfect texture.

Variations

• Add diced ham or cooked shrimp for a protein-packed twist.

• For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce or diced jalapenos to the dressing.
• Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version of the dressing.
• Incorporate diced avocado for a creamy texture and added nutrition.
• Try different types of mustard for unique flavor profiles, such as whole grain or honey mustard.
• Mix in grated cheese like cheddar or Monterey Jack for extra richness.
• Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice for a tangy twist.
