Tired of the same old lunch?

I love to enjoy a nice, big salad for lunch. However, it can get boring eating the same old thing every day. This recipe is a quick, easy and healthy salad with a fun twist!



On page 14 of the brand new Mixing Bowl Magazine you can find my recipe for "Greek Salad with Pita Croutons." Check it out!
