A Bowl of Summer Crunch

By Momma Chef

This is a great recipe if you need a new, fun salad or want something yummy to bring over to a friend’s home. I dress this with a simple olive oil/balsamic vinegar mix and add silvered almonds on top for some crunch. Put the salad in a pretty bowl, and you have a beautiful and tasty dish.

Every recipe has only six or fewer ingredients and takes only six or fewer minutes to prepare.
