Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients

Make the Dressing

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Combine

  • Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.

Chill

  • For best results, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
