Notes
Serve as a starter or main course
Tip: To prepare the salad ahead, follow the above steps but keep the dressing in a separate bowl or bottle until ready to serve the salad.
The salad will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge without the added dressing. To keep in the fridge, cover with plastic wrap or keep in a bowl covered with a lid. Remove from fridge 30 min before serving to allow to reach ambient temperature and dress with the dressing also at room temperature.
