This is delicious! I added a little more olive oil to balance out the acid in the vinegar and the lemon juice. Also don’t be afraid to add chicken for extra protein!

You’ll need a big salad bowl 😂.

It was tasty and easy but the dressing was very acidic. Next time I’d either add more maple syrup or cut back the lemon and ginger a bit. A few hard boiled eggs or toasted chickpeas would be good too.
