Step 3: Assemble the Salad
- In a large mixing bowl, add all the prepared vegetables.
- Sprinkle in the shredded cheese if using.
- Pour the dressing over the salad.
- Gently toss everything together until every piece is lightly coated. Avoid overmixing to keep the vegetables crisp.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
- Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or plate.
- Sprinkle fresh herbs and optional cherry tomatoes on top for a festive look.
- Serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Tips for the Perfect Confetti Salad
- Crunch factor: For extra crunch, add lightly toasted nuts or sunflower seeds on top.
- Veggie variations: Swap or add peas, zucchini, or even finely chopped broccoli for variety.
- Make-ahead: The salad can be prepared a few hours in advance, but keep the dressing separate until serving to maintain crispness.
- Cheese choice: Feta or mozzarella cubes work beautifully if you want a change from cheddar.
