Notes

  • For best results, always use seasonal and fresh produce.
  • This salad is great to make ahead, it will last for up to 5 days in the fridge. The longer the ingredients sit together, the more the flavors will marinate!
  • If you don't want to make the entire salad ahead, you can assemble the salad separately and make the dressing ahead. Toss just before ready to serve.
  • Thinly slice those red onions! The thicker they are, the stronger their flavor will be. It's better if they're very thinly sliced.
