Notes
The is recipe has been updated (June 2020) with new helpful text and new pictures. The recipe is the same as it always has been.
Plan ahead! This salad needs at least 4 hours of fridge time before serving.
Store leftovers in the fridge. Surprisingly, the salad stays well in the fridge for a couple of days. And it even still retains the slight crunch too!
