Notes

Best eaten immediately – This salad is at its crunchiest and most vibrant right after assembling.
If made in advance – Keep the nuts, seeds, and dressing separate and add them just before serving to preserve texture.
Make it heartier – Add edamame, chickpeas, or avocado for extra protein and healthy fats.
Storage – Store leftovers (without dressing) in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.
