Notes
Top your salad with other vegetables (mushrooms, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, red onions etc.)
Add cooked chicken, egg or tuna for more protein!
Add cubes of cheddar, Swiss or smoked Gouda cheese.
Fruit makes a great addition- try dried cranberries, cherries, raisins or apricots or fresh berries in season.
