There are so many variations of this salad on the internet. But there's no need for long lists of ingredients or complicated instructions. I learned this simple preparation from my Hawaiian friend, and it's the best I've had. BTW, anyone from Hawaii will tell you that there can be no substitutions when it comes to Best Foods (Hellmans on the East Coast) mayonnaise in this specific dish.
