House Salad

I love a good salad - something quick and easy to prepare that is filled with fresh vegetables and topped with a tasty dressing. This is my version of a house salad. It's a family favorite and always a big hit with our friends. It's so simple, fresh and delicious. It has a salty/sweet/crunchy factor that makes it very appealing. This salad goes well with most any protein or main entree.
