I was inspired by Meatless Monday to make this recipe. For those of you who don't know, Meatless Monday is a movement that encourages people to consume less meat by eliminating it from your diet one day a week. This reduction can lead to better health and a cleaner environment. This salad is a light and healthy meal sure to satisfy you on your meat free day.
