Notes

● To make it healthier, substitute half the mayo with plain Greek yogurt.
● For extra crunch, add toasted almonds or walnuts.
● Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and used within 3–4 days.
● Perfect for meal prep—just don’t mix in the dressing until you’re ready to eat.
