For a vegan option, substitute the mayonnaise with vegan mayonnaise or a vegan yogurt-based dressing.
To make the salad more flavorful, add a few tablespoons of diced red onion or diced jalapeño peppers.
To make the salad heartier, add cooked pasta or cooked beans.
For a crunchier salad, mix in some croutons or chopped nuts.
To make the salad more nutritious, add some shredded carrots or shredded cabbage.
For a lower-calorie option, use light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt in place of the mayonnaise.
