I love salad. There are many reasons for this. I’d be lying if I said the first reason was anything other than salads are freakin’ easy. They require nearly no cooking (usually) and clean up well. Boom. I’m sold. As if that weren’t enough, they also are fresh, cool, and most of them are downright gorgeous. I’m usually more comfortable bringing a salad to a group potluck event than I am any other dish- mostly because I KNOW it’s going to be a hit.

This is one of those “I KNOW it’s going to be a hit” recipes. Simple, fresh, delicious.
