Fun Salads
Salads are fun and easy to make. I like to toss whatever I have in the fridge together, throw on a dressing and see what happens. Whenever we decide to have a spur of the moment BBQ with our friends I am designated salad maker as I apparently make good salads. Enjoy my creations of fruit, nuts, cheeses, veggies, lentils and beans. Cheers!
