I'm not a fan of hard-boiled eggs, so I left them out of my salad. It was still really good.

I made this salad ahead of time and it held up really well in the refrigerator. It was just as good the next day.

I'm not a big fan of tarragon, so I used dill instead. It was still really good.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It was still really creamy and delicious.

I added some chopped celery and grapes to my salad and it was delicious. I think I'll try adding some chopped walnuts next time.
