Notes

  • For make-ahead preparation, store dressed salad in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • The flavors will continue to develop over time.
  • For longer storage (up to 4 days), keep components separate and combine just before serving.
  • Pre-shredded brussels sprouts from the grocery store work perfectly in this recipe for a time-saving option.
