Notes
To store:
You can keep this Mediterranean salad in the fridge for three to four days, which makes it a perfect meal prep solution.
Since there isn't any lettuce in this salad, you don't have to worry about it getting soggy with the vinaigrette. The dressing "marinates" the salad, which actually makes it taste even better the next day!
