Notes
Feel free to switch up the protein in this salad! Chicken or tofu work wonderfully.
If you're looking to make it lighter, you can replace the beef with grilled shrimp.
Don't hesitate to unleash your creativity with veggies—bell peppers and cherry tomatoes are great additions!
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; just keep the dressing separate to maintain freshness.
