5. **Add Dressing:**

6. **Optional Toppings:**

   - If desired, add optional toppings like croutons, nuts, seeds, feta cheese, avocado, or any other toppings you prefer.


7. **Serve Your Fresh Salad:**

   - Transfer the salad to individual plates or a serving bowl. Your fresh and delicious salad is ready to be served!


**Note:** The beauty of salads is their versatility. You can customize your salad by adding or substituting various ingredients based on your taste preferences and the availability of fresh produce.
