Notes

Feel free to swap the seafood for your preferred protein, such as scallops or even a vegetarian option like chickpeas! This salad is versatile and can be adjusted to suit different tastes. It's best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Reheating isn't ideal, but you can serve it cold for a refreshing second round. Bon appétit!
