Recipe Tips
For extra crunch, add some toasted nuts or seeds of your choice.
If you prefer a lighter dressing, use only half the included dressing and add a squeeze of lemon.
FAQ
Can I add protein to this salad?
Absolutely! Grilled chicken, shrimp or even hard-boiled eggs make great additions.
How do I store leftovers?
Store the salad and garlic bread separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The bread is best reheated in the oven.
Can I make this salad ahead of time?
It’s best to dress the salad just before serving to keep the crunchy toppings crisp. You can prep the ingredients ahead and combine when ready.
