FAQ

Can I make this salad ahead of time?

It’s best enjoyed immediately after tossing, but you can prep the dry ingredients and dressing separately and combine just before serving.

What can I add to make it a full meal?

Add cooked chicken, shrimp or tofu for protein or serve alongside grilled fish or steak.

How should I store leftovers?

Store undressed salad mix in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Add dressing only when ready to eat.
