Thanks to my friend Marian, this simply delicious salad has become a staple in my home. It is a great vegetable side that can accompany any meal. Delicious on the first day and also keeps well in the refrigerator for at least a week. In my family of two, it’s a highly regarded dish that is typically gone within a few days. I can pretty much guarantee that you will feel the same way about this amazing salad.

Some of my favorite meals with this salad:
Two eggs over easy, bacon, and 1/2 c sweet potatoes or yukon gold potatoes with some butter, salt and pepper for flavor and cooking.
Grass fed beef burger, avocado and salsa.
Sardines or tuna.
With a protein of choice (chicken, taco meat, sausage, eggs, etc) stuffed into a tortilla (try my Crepes for this savory application).
