Chef's Notes

Tips:Storage
This salad kept for 24 hours in the fridge, although it was best enjoyed the day it was prepared.
 
Recipe tips

if you plan to eat out of the jar, use a 1 quart jar, and shake it all up just before serving
to make this a meal, add some cooked chicken or ½ cup of chickpeas to the salad
the almonds will not stay crunchy in this salad, so if you’d like that crunch, keep them separate until just before serving

You can get one of those little $4 ziplock vacuum pumps and make all your salads for the week and then seal them and they stay fresh! Did you know that? It is super handy, I do it with fruit and salad and then I can just grab one for lunch or dinner! And you never have to throw out wilted salad! :) I am so trying these for my lunches next week! They look spectacular!

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
