Weekday lunches at work certainly get pretty boring after a while. Well get this—this salad actually gets better the longer it sits. Yep, you heard right—finally, a real salad you can prep at the beginning of the week, and it's still yummy by Thursday. And! Just about any veggies work well here—just add in or out as you see fit. Mission accomplished:)
