I am a huge fan of bright and colorful loaded salads with a little of everything.
I’ve called this one “The Salad Bar Salad” because it’s got so much stuff to choose from.
The best part is that by assembling the ingredients into rows, everyone can pick what they want to add to their salad.
I for one cannot stand beans, so I can avoid them without denying those legume lovers their fix. And if you want a dairy-free salad stay away from the cheese.
I love the rainbow colors cause people to eat with their eyes first. In this case, pretty also means healthy cause it’s loaded with healthy veggies. And the mustardy dressing is incredible.
