Notes

~ The measurements of the chopped veggies are estimates. It doesn't have to be exact as long as it's close. 
~ Chop all the veggies about the same size.
~ Use fresh herbs, not dried!
~ Switch it up!
  • Add diced avocado right before serving.
  • Toss it with chopped romaine or spinach.
  • Add olives or vegan feta.
  • Toss it with cooked and cooled quinoa.
  • Add chickpeas or white beans.
~ Make this salad ahead of time and let it mingle with the dressing for at least an hour or two. I like to toss the salad once or twice during this time so the dressing completely covers all the veggies.  The veggies will start to soak up the dressing and soften just a bit, while still maintaining their crunch.
~ Double it up to serve a crowd.
