Note

For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the yoghurt with extra mayonnaise.

This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the chopped onions in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry before adding to the salad.

For added crunch, consider mixing in some diced celery or red bell pepper.
