Can you make this recipe ahead?

Yes, you can and it’s a green make ahead salad recipe. But we suggest that you do not dress it until right before serving. So add all the chopped ingredients including the cheese in your serving bowl. Make the dressing separately. Let it chill in the fridge. Then right before serving, add the dressing and gently stir it into the vegetables. The flavor will be better!
