I guess you can say i am over, warm, hearty and stick with your bones dishes (even though as I write this, it is 2 levels and i'm yearning a massive ol bowl of hen and dumplings! Bi polar a whole lot?). and inviting all colourful, sparkling and wholesome salads that i can make me feel simply as exact on the inside as this salad seems on the outdoor.
I am so ecstatic about this salad. the colors. The flavors. the entirety! Did I point out the colors?

Kale is all of the rage. even as a few years in the past, you'll have seen me including spinach to all my salads.
