Serving and Storing - This salad is best served cold. Let it set in the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. This also allows the flavors to marinate. Serve as a light lunch or part of a larger dinner. It pairs well with a Lemon Pepper Cauliflower Steaks or these 4-Ingredient Portobello Steaks. Store the leftover salad in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Make in Advance - This salad is best when made 2-4 hours in advance. This allows the vegetables to chill and the flavors to marinate.
Recipe Tips

- For an oil free salad, Feel free to simply omit the olive oil. You can add a little extra lemon juice or water if it feels too dry.
- Cut your vegetables similar in size so that they mix and blend well together.
