- For extra crunch, consider adding toasted sunflower seeds or sliced almonds.

- Adjust the vinegar and sugar to balance the tanginess and sweetness to your preference.
- Serve chilled for the most refreshing experience.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute part of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
