Just vibing with this red, yellow, and green beauty.

There’s nothing I love more than a giant salad packed with so much yumminess. Cukes, avos, tomatoes, and fresh corn.

And the cilantro vinaigrette is so good you will want to drizzle it on just about everything.

Make it immediately. You won’t be sorry.
