Notes

RECIPE NOTE: If making this for meal prep, divide the salad and garnish ingredients and add to storage containers. Drizzle with dressing before serving. The salad will keep for about 3 days in the refrigerator, but the dressing will keep for 2 days.
If you want the dressing to last longer, use half the amount of garlic powder and ground ginger (1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp ground ginger).
