Notes
Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and nutrition.
Dress the salad right before serving to keep the greens crisp.
Consider adding fresh basil or parsley to the dressing for extra flavor.
For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt.
Add orange or grapefruit segments for a citrus twist.
Incorporate cooked quinoa or farro for added texture and protein.
Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
