This salad is simple as can be but so darn good! It’s one of those combos that I’m embarrassed to call a “recipe” but which I had to share.
We’ll have this for dinner with a hunk of crusty bread but it would be great topped with some grilled salmon or sliced chicken for something a bit more substantial.
I’ve used Trader Joe’s spiced, slightly sweetened pecans in the past for extra incredible-ness but regular pecans aren’t too shabby.
