It's preferable to prepare mayonnaise from scratch as it will be more flavorful and healthier.
Additionally, for the dressing, you have the option of using not only mayonnaise but also sour cream or natural yogurt. These can be used individually or mixed with mayonnaise in any ratio you prefer, which can help reduce the dish's calorie content.
Ensure that all the ingredients for your salads are thoroughly chilled. Preparing salads with warm ingredients can lead to quick spoilage.
Since individual preferences vary in terms of saltiness, sweetness, bitterness, spiciness, acidity, and heat, always season your dishes with spices and seasonings according to your taste. If you're trying a new seasoning, be cautious, especially with spices like chili pepper.
