Notes
- Use real mayonnaise for this recipe, not miracle whip, as it will completely alter the flavor profile.
- Be sure to use plain yogurt and not Greek yogurt here. Greek yogurt is too tangy to work.
- While walnuts are the traditional nuts used in this recipe, pecans make a good substitute.
- While it isn't necessary, if you want to embrace tradition- serve this on a bed of green leaf lettuce.
