Balance the Flavor – Adjust sweetness, spice, and acidity to your liking.
Make Ahead – Tastes even better after resting in the fridge.
Add Texture – Stir in finely chopped pickles or red onions for crunch.
Make it Lighter – Use light mayo or half Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.

Frequently Asked Questions
