Notes
- This recipe should make plenty of dressing. You most likely will have some left over. When adding the dressing to the salads, add it to suit your preference. There are so many good flavors in the salad, you shouldn't need an overly large amount of dressing~ unless that is how you like it! In which case, you should have enough to go crazy! :)
- If you don't have Apple Cider Vinegar, you can substitute Rice Vinegar, or use all Lemon Juice. Whichever combo you choose, make sure it adds up to ¼ cup. Any combo will be delicious!
- If you would like to make this salad a little more substantial, feel free to add sliced chicken breast, or shredded chicken.
- Enjoy!
