Notes

Can be served for 4 people as an appetizer or side salad. Or top it with vegan chicken, eggs, avocado, or roasted chickpeas and serve it as a main dish for 2 people.

Make-Ahead: If you want to make this salad ahead of time, store the salad and the dressing individually in an airtight container in the fridge. Toss right before serving.

Make it vegan: Omit parmesan cheese or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative. Same rule applies for the dressing (use nutritional yeast instead of parmesan cheese).
