Notes

Feel free to substitute with your favorite greens or proteins to cater to dietary preferences. The salad is versatile; add items like olives, chickpeas, or artichokes for extra flavor and nutrition. Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days without dressing; once dressed, consume within 1-2 days. For meal prep, consider using a jar to keep ingredients fresh and layers intact until ready to eat.
