• For a variation, you can add some crumbled feta cheese or sliced avocado to the salad for extra creaminess.
• If you prefer a sweeter salad, you can sprinkle some dried cranberries or pomegranate seeds over the top.

Storage and Serving

• This salad is best served immediately after preparing to maintain its freshness and crispness.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days.
• Before serving leftover salad, give it a quick toss to redistribute the dressing and revive the flavors.
