Notes

Dressing: Instead of using a jar and shaking, you can mix the dressing ingredients together in a bowl with a wire whisk. You can even do this directly into the bowl you're serving the salad in to reduce dishes. If you do this, just make sure to drizzle in the oil slowly with one hand while whisking with the other to make sure it emulsifies.
