Notes
- When you're washing your veggies don't forget to dry them too! A little excess water can pool at the bottom of your bowl, and we definitely want to avoid that.
- For perfectly even slices a mandoline is your best friend. If you don’t have one, no worries! A sharp knife will work just fine.
- Letting your salad hang out in the dressing for a bit is a great idea! It helps the lemon juice gently soften the veggies and lets all those delicious flavors soak in.
- For something creamy, swap out the lemon juice and olive oil for sour cream. You can mix it with lemon juice and a bit of minced garlic if you'd like a little zing. Greek yogurt is another tasty option!
- You can also try the creamy garlic yogurt sauce I love to use in my tomato salad with cheese. Enjoy experimenting!
