Notes

If taking to a potluck, multiply the recipe by 4.

Goat or feta cheese also makes a nice addition to the dish, I recommend adding ¼ cup.

The salad can be made up to one day in advance.

Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, and the recipe is best served chilled.

This is a vegetarian dish, but if you want to make it vegan, simply omit the yogurt traditional mayo and use ½ cup of vegan mayonnaise.
