From Jessica Gavin:
This salad tastes even better after the vegetables get a chance to soak up the dressing a bit, about 30 minutes to 1 hour, in the fridge.
The salad can be made up to three days in advance. Leftovers can also be refrigerated for up to three days. This gives the vegetables time to marinate in the dressing, infusing more flavor into each piece of vegetable. It actually tastes better over time! Just make sure to toss everything together again before serving.
The dressing can be stored separately, two days ahead of time, then whisked again right before tossing with the salad to ensure the dressing is emulsified.
