We call this a "cuppa" salad - you add a cuppa this, a cuppa that... You can add other vegetables, such as finely chopped carrots, cauliflower, green beans, peas, or any other vegetables of your choice.  It's also a great "leftover" salad, using up bits of this and that you've accumulated in the refrigerator!
