This is about to be your go-to summer salad.
I’m famous for emptying my refrigerator drawer onto my kitchen counter and making up recipes based on what I have available. I like to improvise and just wing it.
To quote the A team…. “I love it when a plan comes together.”
Today’s salad is one of those epic wins that I am going to be whipping up again and again. I made it with whatever I had on hand and it was brilliant.
You’ll go crazy for this baby. The broccolini adds a nice crunch and the salty feta cheese is creamy and sublime.
Enjoy
