Simple and Delicious Summer Veggie Salad
Hi friends! You know I'm no chef. Not my line of work.
But you also know I can make real food taste halfway decent. I can't even believe I hardly cooked any meals for myself just 6 short years ago. People think I've eaten the way I do for my whole life but that is not the truth. I've worked long and hard to teach myself to eat fresh, whole foods so I very much know the struggle of trying to pull things together--especially after working a long day in school or at a job.
The other night I whipped this together with mostly leftovers in the fridge and few additions.
It worked well beside a grilled turkey burger or rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods Market. I grabbed most of the other ingredients from the farmers market or my generous friend's farm share!
Give it a whirl and see what you can add to it or with it to make it work best for you!
