Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

Use any all-round dressing. This salad can be served as a side or a meal in its own right. It is best served immediately but can be refrigerated for about 3 hours before some ingredients lose their crisp texture. Most salad dressings are agreeable with this mix of ingredients, but beware adding too much balsamic (or other dark dressings) as it can overpower the vibrant colours.
