Directions
Chop up the red and green bell peppers, tomatoes, celery, and onion. Throw all these veggies together with the bean sprouts in a big bowl. When you're ready to eat, pour in the Italian dressing and give everything a good toss to coat it evenly. If you want to prepare it ahead of time, you can mix all the veggies and keep them in a resealable bag in the fridge. Just add the dressing right before serving so the salad stays nice and crisp.
Serving Recommendations
This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal. It also works well as a side alongside sandwiches or wraps. For a bit of extra flavor, add a sprinkle of nuts or seeds on top.
Leftover Care Tips
Store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Keep any dressing separate until ready to serve to maintain the crispness of the vegetables. If leftovers get soggy, freshen them up with a squeeze of lemon juice before eating.
