Garden Salad
This easy garden salad recipe is jam-packed with so many good things! I had a stocked refrigerator and was craving a salad so I threw this one together. I served the salad tossed in Fran’s Vinaigrette and it was delicious. This loaded salad paired nicely with roasted chicken and smashed potatoes.
