Some tips for variants I promised you in the introduction. Now follow more tips for situation flexible at home salad 🙂

Variations for the mayonnaise:
You can add more garlic to the mayo. Then the salad tastes stronger and goes better with grilled food.

Stretch the mayo with crème fraîche or sour cream. It has been proven that 1/3 mayo and 2/3 dairy products. This makes the salad cream lighter and finer in taste.
