I love any type of salad. This salad idea was inspired by Bagels N Greens, a café in Brooklyn that I absolutely love. The café features a make-your-own salad bar, where you can choose from among 48 toppings, including fresh and grilled vegetables, fruits, grains, pastas, nuts, and proteins. With the toppings unlimited, I decided to be brave and mixed an interesting combination, one that I probably wouldn’t have pulled together at home. This became my new idea, paired with an easy yet fabulous dressing. Prepare for a surprising delight!
