Water chestnuts are typically bought sliced, in cans.  Just be sure to drain and rinse well before adding to your recipes.
You can replace the mayo and skim milk with 1/2 cup sour cream, if you prefer.

If you don't like water chestnuts, replace them with celery for the same crunch, but different light flavor.
