epic salad
Salads don't have to be boring and bland, and they aren't when I make them. Gone are those days of soggy iceberg lettuce, GMO tomatoes, cucumber and a couple of red onion slices that were served as your side when you went out to eat. You know what I am talking about. Try this one on for size. Build it however big you want, or take it down a notch. I often eat a pretty large salad as my meal and not only as my side dish or add on. For this one in particular, I used garbanzo beans, but you can use black beans, kidney beans or even hummus instead.
