This salad is a garden of goodness in a bowl. The combination of crunchy vegetables, tangy dressing, richness from the cheese and avocado, and the satisfying protein of hard-boiled eggs hits all the right notes. For a make-ahead option, arrange most of the ingredients individually in an airtight container as you would for a composed salad. Store them in the refrigerator to portion out for a quick lunch or light dinner. Be sure to add the cheese, avocado, and dressing just before you are ready to dive in so that the salad doesn't get soggy and the avocado remains vibrant green.
