as desired; this is a filling and hearty salad, but can also double as a dip! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.

This is DELICIOUS!!! We don’t eat oil, so we omitted it and I added an avocado to give it that creaminess! It’s great on its own, or as a side dish. We rolled it up in a tortilla with some refried beans and called it a meal. Super refreshing and perfect for summer. Thank you Caitlin!!

So so good!
It´s a new staple in our home. :)

So simple, yet so flavorful! Just made this for dinner tonight &amp; it was absolutely delicious. Thank you for another phenomenal vegan dinner Caitlin! Xoxo.

Soooo good! It’s fresh and has a bit of crunch to it with the bell peppers and red onion. It’s great for leftovers too.

So good as a make-ahead lunch or dinner side! I usually add some chipotle powder since I like things to pack a punch. Overall 10/10 and tastes even better next day when everything soaks up the line and spices
