A Gorgeous, Glorious Salad with lots of goodies!

Coming up in March, we will celebrate National Nutrition month, with the theme, "Enjoy the Taste of Eating Right." I love this idea, because after trying all kinds of popular diets, I learned many years ago that I wasn't willing to sacrifice taste for what seemed to be "healthy."
I modified this recipe a bit to add protein and a tasty dressing.  Not only is it a beautiful and yummy salad to offer your family and friends, it's packed with great nutrition.  Pair this with a whole grain roll, and Voila...an easy, savory meal.
