Bravisimo!!
When I was a bachelor, I used this trick: before guests arrived, I'd make a meat salad (Olivier salad) and, before mixing, I'd divide the ingredients into two piles, add sausage to one, canned fish to the other, and voila—two types of salad! People usually had no idea they were the same thing. Your salad is essentially very similar, so that's what inspired me.
