Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large serving bowl, gently combine the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, chopped tomatoes, chopped celery, fresh bean sprouts, and finely diced white onion. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Just before serving, lightly dress the salad with the Italian dressing, tossing gently to coat the vegetables evenly. Avoid over-dressing to maintain the crispness. (2 minutes)

03

Step

For optimal freshness, store the undressed salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Dress just before serving.

For a flavor variation, try adding a splash of red wine vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice to the dressing.
Consider adding other crunchy elements like chopped cucumbers, shredded carrots, or toasted pumpkin seeds for added texture.
If you're preparing the salad in advance, store the dressing separately and add it just before serving to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.

    I added some grilled chicken to make it a full meal. The crunch is so satisfying!

  • Alvera Barrows

    The tip about storing the dressing separately is a lifesaver! No more soggy salads.
