Tips:

- Cut the vegetables and fruit into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. Smaller pieces will cook faster than larger pieces, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should still have a slight crunch to them when they're done.
- If you're using canned or frozen vegetables, be sure to drain them well before adding them to the salad.
- Add the dressing to the salad just before serving. This will help to keep the salad from getting soggy.
- Serve the salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
