I am always on the lookout for simple, fast, and delicious recipes, so when one hits my radar, I am always more than willing to give it a try. This recipe from Allrecipes is 100% one of those recipes and I am so glad I decided to serve it a little while back!
This recipe turned out to be a hit for my whole family, even the pickier eaters! It's basically a little side salad, except with more veggies instead of lettuce. I think the best part about it was being able to throw whatever we had in the house into the mix and I could leave out anything someone in my family wouldn't normally eat. The original recipe calls for cucumbers, and I know Mr. L normally isn't a fan of them, so I just omitted it and added olives, something he can't get enough of!
If you're looking for a quick and yummy side dish for dinner tonight, this recipe would be perfect. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
