Notes
- Toss the salad again before serving so all the veggies are coated in the delicious dressing.
- Deseeding the tomatoes and cucumbers is important so that the salad dressing is not diluted down.
- Add nuts - Top with chopped nuts just before serving for extra crunch.
- Swap veggies - feel free to use other vegetables like beet, avocados, lettuce, etc.
- Swap the dressing - I have also served this with balsamic vinaigrette and French dressing.
- Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3 days.
- There are 2 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
