Notes

Feel free to mix and match toppings based on what's in season or what you have on hand. To keep the salad fresh, store the dressing separately until serving. Experiment with homemade dressings for a personal touch—simple vinaigrettes are quick and easy to whip up. If meal prepping, store components separately and assemble before eating for the best texture. Make it more filling by adding other proteins like hard-boiled eggs or beans.
