There is just something about a freshly chopped volume packed salad! With all the flavors. If you know me you know I love cooking with color! Having colors in all of my meals especially my salads make them beautiful appealing and tasty not to mention packed full of so many vitamins and minerals that our bodies are looking for.
I brought the salad over to a dinner party this weekend and it was a hit! It was simple easy to make and pretty much anything you have in your refrigerator.
You can pair the salad with grilled chicken a nice tasty halibut. Maybe a great fillet with some sweet potato fries pretty much it goes with anything!
