Notes

  • Make Ahead & Storage
    • Make this salad in advance by washing the greens, chopping all fruits and vegetables, and mixing up the dressing. Just store them all in the fridge and in a separate container. Then, when ready to serve, assemble the prepared ingredients. 
    • Store any leftover salad dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Make sure to give it a quick whisk and mix again before topping another salad.
