  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always give you the best flavor. If possible, try to use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and nutrients. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
  • Use a Light Hand with the Dressing: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.
  • Let the Salad Chill: After you assemble the salad, let it chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
