This salad is delicious, but I found the dressing to be a bit too tart for my taste. I added a little bit of honey to balance it out.

I'm not a huge fan of citrus dressings, but this one is really good. It's not too overpowering.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover veggies. I had some roasted broccoli and cauliflower and they were perfect in this salad.
