Notes

Feel free to customize the salad with your favorite proteins or vegetables. For a vegetarian option, substitute meats with chickpeas or tofu. To make it keto-friendly, skip the croutons and focus on high-protein ingredients. If meal prepping, layer the ingredients in a jar with the dressing at the bottom to maintain freshness. This salad can last for 3 to 4 days in the fridge if stored properly. Always keep dressings separate until ready to serve.
