Chef's Note
For the best flavor, make sure to use high-quality olive oil and fresh lemon. If you're meal prepping, keep the dressing separate and add it just before serving to maintain the salad's freshness. You can also serve this over a small bed of arugula for added greens without significantly increasing the carb count.
