As promised on my Instagram here is my recipe for Rainbow Salad. (And if you are not following me on Instagram you really should! There you will see more of my day-to-day updates :))
I made this salad for a family reunion this weekend and it went over really well! Usually, at events like this, the healthy option isn’t the favorite…but everybody dug in and really seemed to enjoy it.
I have also made this salad for lunch. It’s an easy make ahead that is perfect for meal planning! It is easy to get 2 cups of veggies in with this delicious salad.
