Storage: This salad is best fresh; only make as much as you can eat. Nutrition boost: Replace the romaine with kale. To add more veggies and variety to your salad, add some diced red bell pepper, thinly sliced scallions, and/or sweet corn kernels. To make it more filling, top the salad with black beans, avocado, or vegan feta.
