Notes
Make Ahead: You can prepare the vinaigrette up to 3 days in advance and store it in the fridge. Let it come to room temperature and shake or whisk before using.
Storage: This salad is best served immediately after assembling. If needed, you can prep ingredients separately and toss together just before serving.
