Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this salad ahead of time?
Yes—just keep the dressing separate until you're ready to serve. The radishes and carrots hold up well when prepped in advance, but the greens are best tossed right before eating to avoid wilting.

What can I use instead of rice wine vinegar?
Apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar work well. Both offer a similar acidity that complements the orange juice without overpowering it.

How long does the dressing last?
Stored in the fridge in a sealed jar, the orange vinaigrette will keep for up to 5 days. Give it a quick shake before using.

Is this salad suitable for special diets?
Yes—it’s naturally gluten-free and vegan. Just double-check labels if you’re using packaged greens or flavored vinegars.

Can I customize this with other ingredients?
Definitely. Try adding sliced avocado, feta cheese, toasted nuts, or a protein like grilled chicken or chickpeas if you want to make it more filling.
