Notes
Storage Instructions
- To make ahead, prep all the vegetables and strawberries and keep in a separate container. Prepare the balsamic vinaigrette and keep in an airtight container. Add the vinaigrette right before serving to prevent the salad from becoming soggy and wilted.
- Store any leftover, undressed salad in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Save leftover vinaigrette in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
