Variations & Tips
For a bit of spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing. You can also substitute the cheddar cheese with feta or mozzarella for a different flavor profile. If you're a fan of crunch, toss in some toasted nuts or seeds. For a heartier salad, mix in some cooked pasta or grains like farro or barley. Feel free to experiment with herbs; parsley or cilantro can add a fresh twist.
