This salad is so light and tasty! It is great to make ahead and take to work for lunch. The bold flavors in the zero-macros dressing add so much flavor, you’ll be surprised at how nutritious and guilt free it is. Make two or four times the dressing and use on your favorite leafy greens, pasta, or roasted veggies. Store up to 10 days in an airtight jar in your refrigerator.
