Making the Dressing

Seasoning and Garnishing
  1. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle paprika on top for a colorful finish.
Chilling
  1. For the best flavors, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows all the flavors to mingle deliciously!

Notes

To keep your salad fresh, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3-5 days. For freezing, do so before adding mayonnaise to maintain texture.
