- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend and develop fully, resulting in a crisp and flavorful dish.
Notes

- This salad is best served cold and can be made ahead of time.
- Feel free to substitute dried cranberries with raisins or dried cherries if preferred.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to taste.
