  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup salted and roasted almonds chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise I like avocado oil mayo
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt I used full fat, but you could use low fat

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill parsley also works
