2-3 green onions sliced

For the dressing

½ cup vegan plain yogurt (unflavored + unsweetened) or vegan mayonnaise (or half-half yogurt + mayo)

Notes

If you don't plan to enjoy this salad right away, then keep the dressing and produce apart from each other until ready to eat.
Feel free to add some chickpeas to your salad or to serve with a side of bread to make it a full meal.
Other tasty additions to the salad would be dried cranberries, pomegranate, dijon mustard, dried herbs, fresh parsley, etc.
