Best served fresh; the crackers will soften if left too long in the salad.

If preparing ahead, keep the dressing separate and combine with crackers just before serving.

Variations:

Add shredded cheddar cheese or cooked bacon bits for extra flavor.

Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.

Mix in fresh herbs like basil or parsley for added freshness.
