Notes
How to store: If you’re not going to eat your salad right away, try to finish the croutons before storing as they will get mushy. Also, hold off on adding any dressing that contains vinegar. The dressing will make the greens soft, so it’s best to store them separately. Store the salad in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Make ahead instructions: To make this salad ahead of time, I would suggest prepping the vegetables and storing in an airtight container without the dressing or croutons. When ready to serve, add croutons and toss in the dressing.
