Notes
Customize: This salad is wonderfully easy to customize. Use your favorite chopped nuts or seeds, chopped vegetables, herbs, a little cheese, or even something sweet like apples or dried fruit. I recommend adding a handful of our garlic parmesan croutons; they're what you see in the pictures.
Dressing: You'll have enough dressing to make at least two salads. Save the extra in a jar in your fridge for up to 2 weeks. Let the oil come to room temperature, then shake it again really well before using the leftovers.
