  • Cover the salad with plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour before serving to allow flavors to blend.
  • Season with additional salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Notes

Italian Seasoning is included in the dressing. It is a bottled blend of dried herbs such as oregano, basil, marjoram, thyme, and parsley. You can find it in the spice aisle of your grocery store. Remember to label the bottle with the date of purchase, as its optimal flavor is retained for about 6 months.
Store the salad in a covered glass container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
