Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on what's in season or available. Broccoli stems, radish leaves, or beet greens would all be excellent additions. For a vegan option, ensure your dressing is plant-based. To add a protein boost, consider including chickpeas, white beans, or grilled tofu. Make sure to wash and thoroughly dry all the veggies before starting to keep the salad fresh and crisp. For optimal flavor, dress the salad just before serving to prevent it from becoming soggy.
