Notes
- Use fresh veggies for the best flavors. Using dried parsley won't be ideal.
- Great make-ahead recipe. It is ok to mix the dressing in and store it in the fridge a few hours ahead. The dressing will soak in nicely and taste even better.
- Serve the salad cold. Make an hour ahead if possible and store in the fridge.
- Use avocado oil in place of olive oil if preferred.
- You may use vine-ripe tomatoes chopped into smaller pieces. But I prefer cherry or grape tomatoes because they have a hint of sweetness to them.
- Store in a container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
