Notes
Store your salad in an airtight container in the fridge, and it’ll keep for up to 1 day. But honestly boos… It ain’t ideal. The greens can get soggy once they sit around in the dressing too long, so your best bet is to prep your dressing ahead of time, then assemble everything fresh the day you’re planning to eat.
