Salads are one of the easiest things to do. It’s just a matter of bringing the ingredients together, dicing, chopping and combining gently. You may or may not add salad dressing/cream, it really depends on what tickles your fancy. This here salad was one of my experiments. I just looked at what I had in the refrigerator as I was preparing something to eat for my family and decided to combine these ingredients. The family pleasantly enjoyed it.
