Hi, spring. So nice of you to finally arrive and warm my bones.
I don’t know about you, but the one thing I really love about spring is all the fresh, seasonal produce. In an effort to help you eat seasonally, I thought I’d share my favorite veggie-packed, nutritious spring green salad with you. It’s inspired by various trips to the local salad bar where I always spend wayyy too much money. Anyone else? Skip the bar at Whole Foods and load up a platter with the best green salad in the world.
