Notes
- Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
- The calories shown are based on the salad serving 6, with 1 serving being 1/6 of the salad. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate. **We are not dietitians and recommend you seek a nutritionist for exact nutritional information. The information in the nutrition box are calculated through a program and there is room for error. If you need an accurate count, I recommend running the ingredients through your favorite nutrition calculator.**
- There is no olive oil in the dressing mixture because of the mayo. It's not needed.
- Don't want to use sugar? Try maple syrup or extra honey in the same amount.
