This salad is a game changer. It’s incredibly simple to make but packs a ton of good-for-you ingredients and tastes incredible. Dress it in a light, tangy champagne vinaigrette and you’ll be left craving more.

Notes

Don’t have any champagne vinegar? Use whatever vinegar you have on hand, instead! You can prepare the veggies and dressing separately ahead and dress as needed.
