• Refrigerate the salad ingredients before assembling them. This keeps the salad crisp and fresh.

• Garnish the salad with fresh herbs, seeds, nuts, or cheese for added visual appeal and flavour.

• If you're cooking the salad ahead of time, try adding delicate items like avocado or lettuce soon before serving to keep them from wilting.
