HEATING INSTRUCTIONS

Chef's suggestion is to enjoy as a salad but it can also be served warm, if preferred. 

Stovetop: Transfer to a small pot over medium heat. Option of adding a splash of water, olive oil, broth if needed. Stir occasionally until heated through.

Microwave: Remove the lid before heating. For best results, transfer to a microwave-safe dish. Heat on high for 2–3 minutes, stirring halfway to ensure even warming.

Oven: Remove the food from the plastic container and place it in an oven-safe dish. Preheat oven to 350°F, cover the dish with foil, and heat for 15–20 minutes or until piping hot in the center.

Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 2–4 days after reheating for the best freshness and taste.
