15 Minutes prep • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Vegetarian • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-3
This crisp salad is just bursting with flavor thanks to the lemony herb dressing. It’s quick to make and can be assembled at the last minute so it’s perfect for the family or for a dinner party. You can change up the greens if you like and add more or less depending on what you have on hand. This salad is a great change of pace from the standard fare so if you looking for a new salad to try, this is it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
