Notes

Storage instructions: Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day, but it’s best enjoyed right away. Keep the dressing separate if you plan to store portions for later.

Make-ahead instructions: You can prep the ingredients a few hours in advance, but wait to dress the greens until just before serving to keep everything crisp and fresh.
