Notes
Here are a few ideas for varying this recipe:
Use sour cream instead of mayonnaise.
Use more hot sauce to make the salad spicy.
Use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic and add a pinch of onion powder as well.
Add a pinch of dried thyme.
Use parsley instead of cilantro.
Mix in diced red onions.
Add a tablespoon of bacon bits.
You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. Mix the salad again before serving it.
