  4. Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add more mayonnaise for creaminess, or more mustard and salt/pepper for a sharper flavor.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup finely chopped celery (optional).
  7. Stir in other desired additions like 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped tomato, or 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish.
