Recipe Box, Rainbow Salad
Lighten up your menu with this healthy salad
It’s almost as good as finding a pot of gold!
It’s full of a rainbow of ingredients
You can serve it buffet style and let everyone choose the ingredients they want
Or you can chop it up and mix altogether
I made an Almond Butter Dressing
It has a distinct Asian flavor
Very different and a nice change from the expected
