Notes

  • This post first appeared on Bowl of Delicious in October, 2016. I've updated the recipe and post with new photos and revisions.
  • This recipe can be served immediately, but the flavors improve after a few hours in the fridge. It will keep well for about 24 hours in the fridge- after that, it may be a bit soggy.
  • You can substitute some or all of the mayonnaise with plain yogurt- regular or Greek will work fine. You may need to add a bit more than one cup, since it doesn't have the same consistency as mayo.
  • For a vegan version, use your favorite vegan mayo.
  • For a nut-free version, use sunflower seeds instead of walnuts.
  • The provided nutrition information does not include any added sodium from seasoning to taste, any optional ingredients, and it does not take brands into account. Feel free to calculate it yourself using this calculator or by adding the recipe to Yummly.
