Mustard sauce - Mustard sauce has a sharp, tangy flavour that balances well with creamy mayonnaise. Use dijon or yellow mustard sauce for best taste and flavour.

Spices - Garlic powder adds a gentle flavour to the salad without overpowering. You can also use freshly minced garlic, roasted garlic as an alternative.

Honey - Honey is a natural sweetener that balances the tanginess of mustard sauce and enhances the overall flavour of the salad. You can replace it with maple syrup, sugar or agave.
