I brought this fun salad to my girlfriend’s party this summer and everyone loved it and said I must put it in “THE MAGAZINE”!

Not only is it easy to put together, but it is also both delicious and nutritious! Low in fat and high in protein make it a healthy summer salad! I love the pretty colors in this recipe, but feel free to add what you like. Avocado, feta cheese, or kalamata olives would be great additions as well. Take advantage of our farmers market veggies while we still can!
