To be very honest with you, I'm not really a salad person. Salads do not satisfy me. I'll be hungry about a half hour after I eat a salad. I like a full hearty meal. Well, this salad is definitely hearty and satisfying! It’s vibrant, veggie-packed, super-easy-to-make, and nicely satisfying with lots of protein and fiber! Plus, it looks really nice and colorful! This is sure to become one of favorite salads, I promise!
