  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
  • Dressing: For a shortcut use a store-bought Greek dressing, just be mindful of the ingredients as many store-bought dressings are loaded with unnecessary sugars and ingredients. This Primal Kitchen Greek Vinaigrette seems like a good store-bought option.
