I joined a gym today, in celebration I thought I would make salad which is super tasty. When I talk to friends about salad I see their eyes glaze over as they start thinking about food with taste! People seem to have negative connotations to salad and I am not sure why! This is my hot cold salad recipe, healthy, filling and most of all yummy.
