Notes
Heart-healthy hint
- Boost your salad with omega-3-rich toppings like walnuts, flaxseeds, or avocado for a flavorful and nutritious punch.
Food safe storage
- For optimal freshness, store your salad components separately. In other words, keep your zesty dressing, crisp carrots, fragrant herbs, and plump raisins in individual containers in the fridge. When it's time to serve, simply assemble your salad, pour on the dressing, and enjoy the perfect balance of flavours and textures.
