Chef's Tips
- Herb Freshness: Use the freshest herbs possible for the best flavor. If any herbs are wilted, soak them in ice water for a few minutes to revive them.
- Dressing Tip: Adjust the sweetness or acidity of the dressing by adding more honey or lemon juice to suit your taste.
- Add Protein: For a heartier salad, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas.
- Storage: If preparing ahead, keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving to prevent wilting.
- Variations: Experiment with other herbs like cilantro or tarragon for a different flavor profile.
