Enjoy this healthy everyday salad with honey mustard dressing any time you want a burst of fresh healthy ingredients packed into a simple salad recipe. 

If you love your salads like I do, you have got to try this simple and tasty one I threw together in no time at all.

Do you love nuts? Well, if so, this is the salad for you! It’s got crunchy walnuts and other delicious and wholesome toppings. 

For this salad, I used vegan mayo, I hadn’t intended to use vegan mayo but, I had a jar in the fridge. There was just enough in the jar for the dressing and it turned out so good! You can use regular mayo of course. 

Taste all the textures and great flavors. Oh, I can’t forget about the creamy and delectable honey mustard dressing. Also, made with healthy ingredients for a perfect salad dressing for this salad and many others. 

Hope you make this and love it like I do. It’s a winner!
