Ingredient substitutions

Cherry tomato

Bell pepper: Use extra bell pepper for sweetness and crunch if cherry tomato is unavailable.

Fresh cucumber

Pickled cucumber: Use less because pickled cucumber is saltier and tangier than fresh cucumber.

Bell pepper

Cherry tomato: Use extra cherry tomato for juicy sweetness if bell pepper is missing.

Canned corn

Bell pepper: Use extra bell pepper for a sweet crunchy element if canned corn is unavailable.

Pickled cucumber

Fresh cucumber: Use fresh cucumber for crunch, but the salad will lose some tang.

Mayonnaise

Natural yogurt: Use more yogurt for a lighter sauce, though it will be less rich.
