Notes
Make Ahead
You can make the dressing up to 3 days ahead, store it in a jar, and keep it chilled in the fridge. The croutons should be stored at room temperature to keep it crunchy. You can prep greens a day ahead; just make sure to keep it in an airtight container in the fridge. Then, assemble everything together just before serving.🌡️Storing Leftovers
It's best to eat the salad on the same day you add the croutons. You can store leftover dressed greens in an airtight container in the fridge for several days.Leave a review or get more information on the recipe!
