- Toasted flaxseeds have a richer flavor and crunchier texture. Make sure to let them cool completely before adding to the salad.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of dressing to your liking. Some may prefer a lighter dressing while others prefer a more generous pour.
- Get creative with your fruit selection! Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or grapes would be delicious additions.
