Notes

  • This salad is best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the vegetables.
  • For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • You can add cooked shrimp or shredded chicken for added protein if desired.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but the dressing may wilt the vegetables over time.
