May 18, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

Welcome to the world of ridiculously easy salads that include 3 ingredients + a just-as-easy dressing, which also includes 3 ingredients.

To the point where if I forget to ask the servers to leave it off my salad at a restaurant it ruins the whole thing for me. But we are obsessed with this salad. Oooooobsessed.
