Notes

Note: this can be made up to two hours ahead of time. Prepare all of the ingredients (minus the plates) as in the instructions and store them in the refrigerator in separate sealed containers until you are ready to plate. Be sure to prep the serving plates at least 30 minutes before putting your salads together.
