Though I’ve only been posting recipes here a short time you probably can tell that we are salad lovers. They are my go to lunch and my go to veggie side with a meal. Obviously with a salad you need fresh and tasty greens but that’s only part of it. The greens provide the most nutrients but they’re also just the base. To make a salad truly delicious they need to be topped with all kinds of goodies: something savory, something sweet, something crunchy, and don’t forget the cheese! This is a salad with a combination of all those things and a mild and sweet dressing to boot.
