This may be one of the most flavorful salads I’ve ever eaten.
It was a big hit for dinner a few nights ago, especially with the kids who thoroughly cleaned their plates. You can’t complain when getting kids to eat healthy is this easy.
This one is going to make repeat appearances, especially in summer, I’m sure.
