This salad really is amazing! (The picture is not the best–you’ll have to just trust me!) It is full of delicious healthy veggies and sooo tasty! I have seen the recipe on several sites, including the great, “Kitchen Cafe”. It is a Jamie Oliver recipe (you know the cool English guy with the funky hair–I saw an advertisement for his new show about using home grown vegetables). This is perfect for summer! Don’t be afraid of the long ingredient list–it is worth the effort! **Also, only put the dressing on the amount you want to eat right away. You can store the salad and dressing separatelyfor a couple days in the fridge.

Oooh, just seeing it on your blog makes me want to make it again. It is so healthful and delicious!!
Yum! I got to try this at your neighborhood party – I can’t wait to make it for Eric!
That looks so pretty… and yummy. :)
This salad is CRAZY delicious!! I love it and although I forgot the cashews until I just packed away all the leftovers, and the jalepenos burned my fingers and lip, I will be making this one again and again. I also added a rotisserie chicken to plump up the protein. Thanks for sharing it.
Made this for dinner tonight and we loved it! I had to sub some things too and it was still amazing. I added chicken breast to ours and we had it for our main course. Yummy and felt good eating all those veggies!
