Notes
Storage:
Make Ahead: If making this salad for a party, you can make it up to 24 hours ahead without loosing any texture or taste changes. I do recommend adding only half of the dressing and then adding the second half of dressing before serving.
Fridge: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. If salad dries out a little during storage, add a little extra mayo and/or red wine vinegar to revive it.
Freeze: This recipe does not freeze well.
