I love this salad. All my favorite ingredients that I normally have on hand...well sometimes not the fruit:-) The dressing is the absolute best. I love the addition of garlic to a simle olive oil/applecider vinegar blend. I omitted the tarragon, chives and peas. I made this into a single serving and just piled everything on my plate. I also added some sliced avocado. MMMMmmm...so wonderful~ Made for Crazeee Contest.
