We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Dressing ... Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.

  • Step 2: Salad ... Add everything to a serving bowl and toss to combine. Then, add the dressing - not quite all of it. I tend to dress my salads a bit lighter, so add most of the dressing and mix to combine. You can always add more, but you can't take any away. Let the salad rest at least 30 minutes before serving. At that time, you can add the rest of the dressing if you want.

  • Step 3: Serve and ENJOY!
