This fresh and colorful salad has all of the delicious flavors you love from the classic caprese salad, plus even more healthy veggies. Double this and top each portion with 3 ounces grilled or roasted chicken to take it from a simple side to a quick main dish.

Everyone who tried this loved it. I added cooked quinoa to the leftovers for lunch the next day. Read More

We all enjoyed this. It took a lot longer than I expected to prepare it because of all the chopping but it was worth it. We made the whole recipe (for 8) and ate 3/4 of it for lunch so I would say that if you are serving it for a light meal it only makes enough for 4. Also the dressing was twice the amount that we needed. Luckily I only added 1/2 in the beginning. You can always add more if you need to but we didn't. Read More
