Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a bit more mayonnaise or using sour cream instead. You can substitute the ham with turkey or chicken for a lighter version. If you want to add some spice, incorporate diced jalapeños or bell peppers. Fresh herbs like parsley or dill can also enhance the flavor.
