Puritan & Co.’s chef-owner Will Gilson, who grew up on an herb farm, knows how to dress up fresh produce. With a zingy mix of lime, jalapeño, and herbs, this salad has become our new low-maintenance WFH lunch staple. Fill your jar in the morning and dump it into a bowl between Zoom meetings when hunger strikes.
