Instructions
Step 1: Dressing: Shake the dressing in a jar. Taste and adjust: add more oil for a creamier, less tangy dressing, vinegar for more tang, or sugar if you want a touch of sweetness.
Step 2: Toss: Place all the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss well.
Step 3: Serve: Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
Notes
Make the dressing your own
Apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, balsamic, red wine vinegar, sherry vinegar, champagne vinegar, white vinegar or rice wine vinegar can all be used. White wine vinegar is milder; white vinegar is sharper, so adjust the oil to taste.
For extra flavor, add finely minced garlic, dried or fresh herbs, or lemon zest.
A little sugar or honey can soften the sharp edge of the dressing; use one or the other, not both.
