Notes

Tips:

Make it a meal-

Add protein like grilled chicken for a complete meal. This salad is also great in a turkey wrap or stuff in a pita sandwich with your favorite lunch meat like roasted turkey.

Leftovers-

Don't throw away the leftovers! This salad is still great the next day unless you overdress the greens with lemon juice. I love to take the extras to work with shaved lunch meat or roasted chicken. So yummy!
