Notes
- Add Greens: This recipe is a traditional take on shepherd’s salad, but you can always add a bed of lettuce or spinach to the bottom of the plate for a more leafy version of the salad.
- Add Protein: While this is a classic shepherd's salad, you can always add your favorite protein to make it a complete meal. Grilled chicken, steak, or even chickpeas could be great additions.
- Making it ahead of time: You can prepare the ingredients for the salad in advance, but it's best to mix them together with the dressing just before serving. This will help to maintain the salad's fresh and crisp texture.
- Storage: If you have leftovers, you can store shepherd’s salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It's best consumed within 1-2 days for the freshest flavor and texture. Drain any excess liquid that may accumulate before serving.
