Notes

  • To Prepare this Salad in Advance
  •  
  • You can prepare the salad dressing and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
  • You can also mix all ingredients except for the lettuce and tomatoes in a bowl with a lid and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add the lettuce and tomatoes just before serving to keep them from getting too soggy.
  • Leftovers with the lettuce and tomatoes added will last for around 24 hours in the refrigerator, in an airtight container.
