If there was a ten star review, I would give it. I guess the Finnish have something on us Americans. This salad puts our traditional potato salad to shame; in taste as well as healthwise. Although I didn't have any, plain yogurt would probably be a suitable mayo substitute, although even that may not be necessary. I tried it before adding the mayo and would serve it as is.
