- Let it chill: Allowing the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving can help the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Serve creatively: This salad can be served on its own, in a wrap, or on top of a bed of greens for a more hearty meal. You can also top it with some fresh herbs like cilantro for added flavor.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It makes for a great make-ahead meal option.
