- In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Assembly
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients without mashing.
- Cover with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Serving
- Before serving, stir the salad to redistribute the dressing, then serve cold. Garnish with extra green onions or toasted coconut flakes if desired.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for best quality. Substitute Greek yogurt for half the mayonnaise for a lighter option. Add nuts or seeds for extra crunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
