Notes

Storage Instructions
  • This salad is best eaten directly after it has been made. The herbs will wilt after a short time.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
  • Keep the dressing separate if you plan to store it, as the lime juice can soften the veggies over time.
