I never liked lettuce or any kind of dressing so it took me a long time to like salad. I eat lettuce now, but until then, I had to create yummy alternatives. This salad is filled with healthy (Mediterranean) fats, protein, fiber and nutrients. There is enough moisture from the ingredients that a dressing is not required. However, a balsamic drizzle is a de-lish addition if desired. Submitted by AHAUNTEDPOET Carbs: 11.8g | Fat: 14.1g | Fiber: 5g | Protein: 9g | Calories: 199.9
