Make-Ahead Instruction
It would be best to prepare this salad a day ahead to let the flavors meld and set in. But donāt 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 youāll have an elegant meal in no time. š Donāt 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.
