Preparation

Chef’s notes

The amount of dressing provided is more than needed for 6 servings, allowing for leftovers. Keep the extra dressing for a few days to use again.
For nutritional calculations, only half the dressing amount is considered for 6 servings.
If preparing ahead, mix everything except the dressing, arugula, and basil. These should be added just before serving.
