This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I like to make it on the weekend and then eat it throughout the week for lunch.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it would be better with a more flavorful dressing.

I love this salad! It's so refreshing and healthy. I like to add a little bit of feta cheese or goat cheese for extra flavor.
