Notes
- Note from Teri: what Abbey experienced was how the salt in dressings extracts water from the produce in salads. Since cucumber has a lot of water content naturally in it, it has a lot of water for salt to pull out; making a soggy make-ahead salad the next day. In addition to switching which produce you use, another tip to help reduce this moisture is to not add salt until the time of serving.
