Notes
a. When making the vinaigrette, you can add an additional tablespoon of red wine vinegar and lemon juice (1 tbsp additional each) if you want a stronger vinaigrette taste. All other quantities remain the same.
b. The ingredients in the vinaigrette will settle once you set aside - ensure to thoroughly mix ingredients together before use.
c. We finished our salad the same day, hence why the seeds are kept in, pictured. Also, we're not big olive fans, so we left them out! Feel free to add some Kalamata to the mix!
