    Oops! I meant to post this salad recipe almost 2 months ago when I made seafood and chicken paella for dinner for my sister-in-law and her family when they came to visit from Virginia. I wanted to make a fresh, simple, but delicious salad to go with the paella and I think this recipe was the right choice, at least the empty bowl in the kitchen made me think so 🙂

    It is truly a fantastic salad, try it!

      I don't use Argula as much as i should. the dressing sounds perfect, non creamy flavorful & light.
