Looking for a simple and satisfying salad to throw together anytime of day? You can clicked on the right place. This salad was a breeze to make and it’s perfect for two people or a really large salad just for one. I like convenience, so when I can buy prepackaged lettuce, I am all in. Fresh and crispy, with a nice balance of crunchy, chewy toppings, perfectly mixed in with a simple dressing. Clean eating, healthy and so delicious. How perfect!
