-This simple salad uses the freshest ingredients for a flavor mix that will pop in your mouth!-
I do love a fancy salad, but a lot of the time I prefer simpler recipes that aren’t a lot of trouble. A honeycrisp apple and romaine salad is awesome, but I’m happiest when you give me a simply fresh salad that I can throw together easily and still get oohs and aahs out of MGG and my friends. (This Caribbean Chicken Salad may be an exception though...!)
Plus, if you have to travel with this salad it's guaranteed to arrive beautifully, and not look like it fell in the floorboard of the back seat of your car! This simple and fresh salad looks beautiful no matter how it lands!
