Make-Ahead Instruction

It would be best to prepare this salad a day ahead to let the flavors meld and set in. But don’t add the almond just yet, as they may lose their crispiness the longer they soak in the dressing. I suggest keeping the salad in an airtight container or covering the container tightly with a cling wrap to keep it fresh.

Serving and Storage Instructions

This salad also tastes good with a lighter dressing, such as a vinaigrette or an olive oil-based dressing. Serve it as a side to equally mouthwatering entrees, likeĀ Roast BeefĀ orĀ Roast Chicken, and you’ll have an elegant meal in no time. šŸ‘Œ Don’t worry if you happen to have leftovers because that means more salad for later! Woohoo! They store just fine in a clean, dry sealed container, and they will stay fresh in the fridge for three days.
