Notes
Additions and Substitutions
If you want to make this recipe even quicker, you can use store-bought dressing. Look for a vinaigrette that has orange or lemon for a consistent flavor.
You can use any dried fruit in this salad as well if you don't have dried cranberries. Chopped apricots or dates would be great alternatives.
And other options for nuts include: sliced almonds, crushed walnuts, or even cashews. For a nut free version use sunflower seeds. Or add croutons for a crunchy element!
