There are times when (like when it is 105 degrees outside) that nothing sounds good for dinner except a fresh green salad.
Of course, with a hungry cavedweller in the house, the salad must have plenty of meat, but this easy recipe just takes a few minutes to assemble.
I used this recipe in Rescuing the Rancher.
The neat part was that the hero made it for the heroine for dinner. How fun is that!
