Notes

  1. Pro tip: For best results, assemble the salad just before serving.
  2. Nutrition information does not include the salad dressing as that has been calculated in a separate post.
  3. Toast the walnuts in advance, or purchase pre-toasted nuts for a time saver. Not a fan of walnuts? Sub with your favorite nuts or seeds.
  4. Prep the salad dressing in advance, or use your favorite store bought brand.
