Make-ahead tips

While this mixed green salad cannot be made in advance there are a couple of things you can do to save yourself some time on the day.

  • Slice your celery a few days in advance and keep it covered in a container topped up with water. This will keep your celery fresh and make it super crunchy. Just make you sure you strain it well and pat it dry before adding to your salad.
  • Make the dressing several days ahead and keep it in a covered container in your fridge.
  • Chop the dates, crush the pistachios and keep them covered in separate containers until you are ready to use.
  • Once made up this salad should be eaten on the day, the leaves will become soggy after several hours once the dressing is poured over.

Can I meal prep this salad?

  • To meal prep this salad for your lunches - make up the salad and keep the dressing in a separate container to add just before you are ready to eat.
  • Without the dressing, it will keep in your fridge for approximately 2 days.
  • For some added protein you could try some grilled chicken, flaked salmon or chickpeas for a vegetarian/vegan option.
