Leftovers: into the fridge within 2 hours (1 hour on a hot 90°F+ day), eat within 3 days, and reheat to 165°F (74°C). Keep raw salad and dressing separate.吃不完的2小时内放冰箱（天热超90°F就1小时内），3天内吃完，回热要热到165°F (74°C)。生沙拉和酱汁分开。
Know your ingredients认识食材
Ingredients explained食材讲解
Tomatoes番茄Lycopene + vitamin C. Pick heavy, fragrant ones; never refrigerate or they turn mealy.含番茄红素和维C。选沉、有香气的；别冷藏，会变粉。
Basil罗勒Add at the end—heat dulls it. Store like flowers in water, not fridge.最后加，久煮会失香。像花一样插水里放，别冷藏。
Cucumber黄瓜Persian or English cucumbers have thin skin and few seeds — no peeling needed. Salt 10 min to draw water for salads.迷你黄瓜或英国黄瓜皮薄籽少，不用削皮。凉拌前撒盐腌10分钟出水。
Olive oil橄榄油Extra-virgin olive oil for finishing; neutral oils (avocado, canola) for high heat.特级初榨橄榄油淋面；高温用中性油（牛油果油、菜籽油）。
Lemon柠檬Brightens any dish; acid balances richness. Heavy, thin-skinned lemons are juiciest.提亮整道菜，酸能解腻。选沉、皮薄的汁多。
- Dijon mustard第戎芥末
Sharp French mustard that also emulsifies dressings. Keeps in the fridge for months.辛辣的法式芥末，也能让沙拉汁乳化。冷藏可放数月。
Fine salt细盐Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) is less salty by volume than table salt; use about half if swapping to table salt.犹太盐（Diamond Crystal）按体积比食盐淡；换成食盐时约减半。

Make it a balanced meal营养搭配建议
Add cooked whole grains for a bigger meal; swap dairy for extra chickpeas to make the vegetarian option vegan.想更饱可加熟全谷物；含奶版本可将奶酪换成更多鹰嘴豆，做成纯素。
Why it works: aim for half the plate vegetables, a quarter protein, a quarter whole grains or starch — then let one rich dish be the star.搭配思路：半盘蔬菜、四分之一蛋白、四分之一主食；一桌里只让一道浓郁的菜当主角。
