Gabriela's tips
Small changes that make this recipe easier to fit into real life.
Keep it fresh
Store the dressing separately and add it just before eating so the vegetables stay crisp and the meal keeps well.
Pack it separately
Keep wet and crunchy ingredients apart until serving, then assemble in moments without a soggy lunch.
