Notes
- If you want to take the vinaigrette to the next level, then add a splash of champagne to it.
- Pine nuts are a nice crunchy and creamy addition to the top of the salad.
- If you like a kick of heat to your meals, then add a pinch of red chilli flakes before serving.
- Add the dressing right at the last minute to stop the salad from getting soggy.
