Note

The dressing can be prepared 1-2 days in advance and stored in the fridge until ready to use.
Leftover dressing will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days.
It’s crucial to dress this salad immediately before serving, as it can become soggy quite quickly. Alternatively, you could serve the dressing on the side, allowing people to add their own dressing as they serve themselves.
