We just know this is going to be a hit. I created this salad for a video shoot day, which is kind of what has been happening lately. We have a quickie meeting the week prior to a video shoot day about what to shoot, and half the time I say something like...’I’ll whip up a salad’ or ‘I’ll whip up a cheesecake’...or something similiar. And of course the week comes and it goes and so the day before the shoot I find myself standing in the supermarket looking at an array of ingredients with barely a thought in my red head...and so as desperation strikes, creativity does on occasion as well. Thus this recipe.

The crew loved it and I must say, not half bad for a half baked idea the day before...if I say so myself. Hope you love it too!
