# Step-by-Step Guide:

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The dressing keeps for a week and makes everything taste better, from grilled vegetables to sandwiches
  • Raw snap peas and cucumber add this incredible crunch that makes each bite feel fresh and alive
02 -
  • The dressing tastes even better after sitting for an hour in the fridge because all those herbs have time to meld together
  • Never dress the salad until you are literally about to serve it or the snap peas will lose their crunch and the greens will get sad and wilted
03 -
  • If your dressing seems too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water or more lemon juice rather than adding more oil
  • Toast some pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds and sprinkle them on top for an amazing nutty crunch contrast
