Notes
- While you can enjoy this salad right away, putting the salad in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes will enhance the flavors. I wouldn't dress the salad more than an hour before enjoying it, as adding the dressing too soon can make this salad too watery.

- If prepping this salad ahead of time prepare the vegetables separately from the dressing. Store the dressing separately in the fridge, then toss the veggies in the dressing right before enjoying.
