Tips and Warnings

  • The recipe takes a bit of time because each component is dressed separately. Feel free to prepare the steps simultaneously if you have the capacity. Otherwise, prepare the different parts of the salad in order.
  • When the salad is assembled, we recommend sprinkling the whole salad with a bit more salt and pepper.
