Notes
- Storing: Keep the leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Feel free to add a little more dressing if it’s become a bit dry.
- Make-Ahead: This salad can be made up to 24 hours ahead of time if kept in a sealed container in the fridge. Don’t add the dressing until right before it’s time to serve. The white wine vinaigrette can be made and stored 2 to 3 days ahead of time in a sealed glass jar or airtight container.
