Note
For a complete tropical profile, consider adding sliced mango, pineapple chunks, or toasted coconut flakes to the salad.
To keep the greens crisp, store any leftover dressing separately and toss just before serving.
This salad is best served fresh. If preparing ahead, keep the dressed greens in the refrigerator for no more than 1-2 hours to prevent wilting.
Ensure all greens are thoroughly dried; wet leaves will dilute the flavor of the dressing.
