OMG THIS SALAD!!! I never in a million years thought I would love a vegetarians salad.

I am a huge meat lover. Chicken, lamb, salmon, beef, anything!! I am not someone who eats vegetarian anything and feels satisfied. But this salad mash up – it is beyond good fam. It is one of the best veggie loaded bowls you can make and the dressing itself is delectable. I always make a huge batch of it and keep it in the fridge on hand. Not to mention it’s amazing to marinate chicken too.

I hope you guys love this salad as much as I do. Keep me posted if you make it!!
