Note

For best flavor, let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving, but do not let it sit too long or the vegetables may become soggy.

You can customize the vegetable mix by adding cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or red onions based on personal preference.

If making ahead, keep the dressing separate and toss just before serving to maintain the crunch of the vegetables.
