This is one of my favorite salad recipes! It’s crisp, crunchy and fresh with lots of different flavors. For me, for a salad to be good, it has to have a great mix of flavors, textures and different ingredients. I love veggies, but, veggies can be boring if you don’t do something to spice them up a little bit. This easy to make salad recipe is packed full of healthy veggies, nuts and fruits with fresh flavors and a texture that spans from rich and creamy to crisp and crunchy. Enjoy, my friends!
