  • Notes: On its own this salad is full of flavor and naturally vegan, but don’t shy away from experimenting. I’ve topped it with goat cheese, gorgonzola, feta cheese, or even sliced marinated chicken breast for a boost of protein. Likewise, you can use a variety of nuts - pecans, walnuts, and almonds all work well. This salad is very versatile!
