Notes

Note: I added a handful of pomegranate seeds at the last minute mostly for a pop of color for pretty pictures. However, it is totally optional.
Making It Ahead and What To Do with Leftovers: As it is most salads mixed with yogurt dressing, this salad doesn't keep well even if you store it in the fridge in an airtight container. However, if you don't mind keeping the ingredients separate from the dressing and serve it on the side, you can totally make it a day ahead and store them in the fridge for one additional day.
