Whether you’re feeling fancy or keeping it simple, ‘The Everything Salad’ is here for you by letting you customize it your way without any fuss, and most importantly, it is filled with pockets of flavour!
You heard of the everything bagel but now, I present to you The Everything Salad! a little backstory: I am absolutely terrible at salad. Salad is my kryptonite or shall I say saladonite, get it? SALADOnite as in krypt… okay never mind. Yes, so my salad making skills are just as bad as my humour apparently. But in my opinion, my MIL is the best when it comes to salads – her salads are always simple but bursting with flavour and it pairs well with almost everything. I wanted this salad recipe that is inspired by her to serve the same purpose as well.
If you want a nice fresh salad to have by the side for your dinner meals or even just for lunch, then, this a perfect recipe that takes only 12 minutes to whip up and it is super customizable to suit what you have in your pantry (see Notes below). The Everything Salad is easy, takes so little time to make, versatile and customizable – wow this salad recipe just keeps scoring points!
