Garden Medley Salad with Feta & Pecans ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #salad #recipe


Salads are one of those things that just make me happy, inside and out, especially when they are full of color, contrasting textures and flavors and lots of crunch. This one was so good the first time I made it for a lunch at work, I had to make it again.

This pretty salad is, by the way, an excellent diversion for keeping you awake through a dry, boring lunchtime webinar. If it weren’t for this salad, I definitely would have fallen asleep!
