I've been on a salad kick for lunches lately. I think it has something to do with all of the fresh produce that we have in the house from going to farmer's markets. It inspires me to eat healthy. I also just recently started making my own salad dressing. It is surprisingly simple and so much healthier than bottled stuff because you know exactly what is in it. I also used some of my Glazed Pecans for this salad to add some crunch. This salad is crisp, sweet and healthy...all around summer perfection.
