This salad is super easy to make and comes together in a just a few minutes. It’s great for picnics and potlucks and travels well too. You don’t have to worry about the dressing on a hot day because there’s no eggs or dairy in it. Add some grilled chicken, grilled steak slices or shrimp to the salad for a main dish meal! Everyone loves this salad and will be asking for the recipe.

I love candied pecans with this salad (you can make your own or they can be found in the produce section of your supermarket), but you can subsitute with almonds, sunflower seeds, or walnuts. Just use your favorite and they don’t have to be candied, but I recommend that they are!
