I put together this salad for lunch the other day. It has some plant protein and anti-inflammatory properties. It was quite refreshing. I hope you enjoy! There really are no real measurements for this recipe. It is really all about your personal taste. I used Peach Bourbon Balsamic Vinegar for my dressing. Any kind of fruit balsamic vinegar or your favorite vinaigrette compliments well. Lemon is also a nice compliment! Try it out and let me know what your favorites are.
