Little things that help

Make it your own.

  • If raisins are dry, soak in warm water for 5 minutes and drain before adding.

Keeping the leftovers

Refrigerate promptly. Keep dressing and fresh toppings separate where possible; use within 2 days. Add avocado or delicate leaves just before serving.
