When I loved in Northern Virginia there was a restaurant named Sweetwater that I went to often after work. That was the same season in my life when I was learning to eat more healthy and make better choices, so I would often get their house salad. This is my take on my long lost salad that I haven’t had in over 15 years now.
To make this #dinnerdoneby9am I make the dressing and prep the veggies in the morning, assembling the salad in a bowl, then refrigerate everything all day, and dress the salad just prior to serving.
