An Easy, Light, and Healthy Salad

The best part about this salad is that it doesn’t mush all together when you mix it. It remains creamy and crunchy all at the same time.

It’s made with fresh, wholesome ingredients that make you feel like you’re not actually eating a salad because of how filling it is. Talk about satisfying!

This past Canada Day long weekend I served this salad on the patio for our family and it was a complete success. Everyone was excited about how nutritious it looked and raved about how good it tasted.

You’d be surprised how a few simple ingredients goes such a long way.
