We are a big salad family. I make one with almost every dinner meal. I also like one for lunch when I’m home working from the house. This newest salad was so easy to prepare since I bought the lettuce all ready chopped and washed at the market. Love all the crunchy textures especially when I added the halved walnuts. The sweet raspberries and homemade simple dressing makes this one of my favorites and it’s a nice cleanings detox salad as well. See and taste for yourself how healthy and delicious it is. Make one up for yourself.
