Instructions
For the Salad
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large salad bowl and toss to combine. Set this aside while you make the dressing.
For the Dressing
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the dressing into a glass jar because you will not need all of it for the salad.
- Drizzle your desired amount of dressing on the salad and toss to ensure all the salad ingredients are coated. Extra dressing will keep in the fridge for up to five days.
