- Candied Walnuts: Candied walnuts (made with honey) are also a fun addition.
- Avocado: If you have an avocado laying around feel free to dice that up and add it in too!
- Dressing Options: If you aren’t necessarily concerned with Whole30/paleo, I also love throwing some creamy poppyseed dressing on this salad!
