In general salads are one of my favorite meals. Sometimes the trouble is having enough elements on hand for them to have variety. Salads can get sad and uninspiring fast when we have had the same three to four toppings on them for the last five times we’ve eaten them. This recipe has become one I do for something that has a lot of variety within. I love chopped salads in that way! Lots of bite size delicious pieces! Also there is is a very pleasant and fast homemade dressing.
AND IT IS A VERY SUMMERTIME SALAD!
It is one I have chosen for my mother’s day meal because it feels like a launch of summer.
