Not Your Mother's Salad
Description
You can make this salad as is, or change out some of the ingredients in both the salad and the dressing based on what you have in the kitchen. At the Spiral House, Chef Diane makes it differently each time she serves it. Regardless, it will be loaded with goodness.
