Notes

For optimal freshness, prepare the salad just before serving. Use a mild variety of red onion to prevent overpowering the other ingredients. If you prefer a nuttier taste, lightly toast the pistachios before adding them to the salad. Make sure to wash your salad greens thoroughly for a crisp bite.
