Recipe Notes

Opt for homemade mayonnaise for a tastier and healthier alternative. Additionally, as a dressing, consider using not only mayonnaise but also sour cream or natural yogurt. These can be used individually or blended with mayonnaise in any proportion to suit your taste, providing a lower-calorie option for the dish.

When purchasing canned fish, give the tin a shake before buying. The more liquid present, the fewer fish there are in the can.

Craft salads exclusively from thoroughly chilled ingredients. Using warm components can lead to the rapid deterioration of the salad.
