I love salads as much as like steaks:) They are easy to make and almost always filling while they are fresh. So I have a lot of salad recipes. This one is a delicious healthy salad recipe from Self magazine.

It is easy to make and very tasty. However you can change the ingredients to your liking, the recipe makes a great base.
