Introduction

I "invented" this salad by looking at my school's salad bar and realizing that I could indeed make something I liked--all I had to do was throw it all on a plate!

Also includes plenty of protein without meat--I was trying to cut down on meat at the time. I "invented" this salad by looking at my school's salad bar and realizing that I could indeed make something I liked--all I had to do was throw it all on a plate!
