    • Mayonnaise - For a healthier option, you can use plain Greek yogurt.
    • Brown mustard - Dijon mustard is a great substitute.
    • Celery rib
    • White onion - White onions have the best crunch, but a yellow or red onion can be substituted.

    • Table Salt - You can substitute kosher salt.
    • Fresh ground black pepper
    • Optional - Feel free to add fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, green onion, or fresh dill.
