you need a crunch factor and a sweet factor and a creamy factor. personally im doing diced apple and scallion on a crispy carb. if you do not like mayo, grow up.
If you do chicken salad you need some celery, walnuts and either grape or dried cranberry. If you do tuna you need like, the crispest lettuce you can get.
I said it. I love me a tuna salad. Potato salad in the summer, count me in. Chicken salad? Bonus points if itβs a chipotle chicken salad. Whitefish salad - consider me chowing down. Still working the courage up to egg salad tho.
