Notes

  • If you don’t have Mediterranean sea salt then just add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.
  • I add more lemon juice but if it is too strong, use 1/4 cup (1 lemon) instead.
  • Make changes to suits your tastes.
  • You can make the dressing and prep veggies the night before.
