Fantastic – have always enjoyed this salad – your personal recipe is so tasty! Yum
Love your recipe. Hearty and lean too. Im definitely making it because these ingredients are always in my pantry. It’s a keeper.
How far in advance, of serving the salad, should we put the dressing on?
I would put the dressing on right before serving or you could go a few minutes before serving.
