This recipe lies in this small but happy space between the accompanying dish, the condiment and the healthy meal. It's pretty good to eat alone, but it's also the type of powerful and assertive salad that can be served on a piece of grilledSalmon, chicken, (or even steak) and you can even turn it into your favorite envelope or favorite sandwich. It is also an excellent choice for weekly meal planning. You can try to double (or triple depending on the number of people you cook)) on the recipe and you will have a go-within delicious and healthy in your refrigerator for these more shopping nights when you have reached the phone and call your delivery Friendly Pizza. It will stay in your refrigerator for about five days, so do enough to last all week and you will not be sorry.
