Notes
Tips For Perfect Results
- If you are making this salad ahead of time, then refrain from adding the avocado and plain yogurt until you are ready to consume.
- Pour your dressing slowly so you don't end up with an overdressed salad. If you have extra dressing on hand, then use it as a dip with roasted or raw veggies.
- If you are allergic to nuts, then substitute your nuts with pumpkin seeds. The taste is literally mind-blowing!
- Top your salad off with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a nutty taste.
- Nutritional yeast goes wonderfully with this recipe, but if you don't have any at hand, you can use parmesan cheese.
