This is one of my favorite little go-to salads for lunch or a side. It’s easy and full of flavor. Win, win, right?! You can even throw some grilled shrimp on top and make it an entree. Now, isn’t that simple? I make my own honey mustard dressing here…but you most certainly can use a store bought variety.
Enjoy friends!
This recipe serves four.

I LOVE salads like this! I have a new dressing I need to tell you about. I will text you a pic in a second, because I'm thinking you could whip up several recipes around it!

If you love avocado on your salad, you would probably like avocado ranch! Hidden Valley makes an avocado ranch and it is so good! Less calories than a regular ranch, too.
