Super salad entree
This salad was my dinner tonight. I didn't use the dressing because my boys are allergic to dairy, but the salad itself was really good. It was easy to put together and hearty enough for a light dinner. I needed something lighter after all the heavy holiday food.
Pros: Great textures, good flavor, hearty
