If you haven’t been following along, I threw an 8-course Taylor Swift eras themed dinner party recently. This salad was created for the “Lover” era. It’s bright, light and has punchy garlicky-pink dressing that reflects the vibe of the album.

FAQ
Q: Can the dressing be made in advance?
A: Absolutely! For our Taylor Swift party, I made our dressing 2 days in advance. It allowed it to really mellow out and flavors to blend together.
