Chef's Notes

Suggested adult serving: 3 cups
Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

RECIPE TIPS
Pure Maple Syrup: Maple syrup is boiled down sap from the maple tree. Make sure to purchase “pure maple syrup” (not “pancake syrup,” “table syrup,” or “maple-flavored syrup,” or even just “maple syrup,” as they contain artificial maple flavor and cane sugar or corn syrup).
