Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips:
- Use a mix of baby greens like arugula, spinach, and baby kale for added flavor and texture
- If you’re pressed for time, cook the potatoes in your air fryer at 400F for 2-3 minutes and then flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until they’re tender and golden brown.
- For extra crunch, add a handful of toasted almonds or sunflower seeds.
- Make sure to dry the blanched vegetables thoroughly to avoid watering down the salad.
- If you prefer a lighter dressing, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
- Add some crumbled feta or goat cheese for a tangy twist.
