Notes
Use fresh, in-season vegetables for the best flavor. Let the salad sit for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Store in an airtight container to keep ingredients fresh. Can add protein like grilled chicken or chickpeas for a complete meal. Prepare your veggies ahead of time for quick assembly during the week.
