this Salad can be served immediately, but is best if you let it sit for 4 hours, preferably overnight. This gives the flavors a chance to mix together! Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 6 days.

I made this yesterday and my husband said it was the best salad he has ever eaten! Very delicious!

Not only is the salad tasty but it's so easy to make!!  I make it at lesst twice a week. Substituted the oil for the tahini and it works great.l

I've just started transitioning to a vegan diet and can say that this salad definitely encourages me to keep with it,
cause it's so good! I especially love how zesty it is.

My 12 year-old daughter and I love this salad!! She even asks me to put it in her lunch for school! Thanks for a great recipe!!
