Omg, I can't get over the weather and the fact that there are still patches of stubborn snow hanging on for dear life. It's been super warm for about 5 days now and before that it was full on Winter weather so I guess the weather is actually paying attention to the seasons for once, lol
So I have this really big problem when I start to plan out a salad, there are no rules. Now I can see how this would be a problem in an opposite way for many people because they don’t even know where to start. For me though, I can hardly find where to stop because when I start on all the colorful veggies and toppings I just get too inspired and want to add literally EVERYTHING! Do you do that too?

It looks delicious. People often think that salads are simple and tasteless, but I think it's a matter of experimenting with new combinations like the delicious recipe you've presented to us. Thanks for sharing.
I couldn't agree more, thanks!
That looks awesome. The question you'll often hear from people who want to eat healthier or even prepare their own meals is that they don't have the time. Some people seem to go for convenience than taking the time to consider their health. Happy Friday.
It really takes so little time to make better decisions, I completely agree. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Delicious.
Thanks!
