Chef's notes
Chives – add 1/3 cup chives or green onion instead of onion for a milder onion flavor.
Mayo – lately we’ve been loving the addition of 1-2 Tbsp mayo to the dressing instead of lemon juice.
Greek yogurt – I’ve tested plain Greek yogurt and it works (although not quite as good), just omit lemon juice if using.
