Make sure that you let this chill out in the fridge for at least an hour or so. It allows all the flavors to really blend together better. I know that I tasted it right after it was done and it was good, but then I tasted it again after it had sat for a few hours and it was amazing. I like to put a little extra dressing in mine just because I don’t like a super dry salad. That’s totally up to you though. Make this convenient salad first and then move on with whatever else you have to do. One thing is done at least!
