COLORFUL! FRESH! Okay, technically, dried and frozen, but fresher than if it’d been outside in the snow, right? RIGHT! Today’s super quick low-sodium salad makes a great side, especially when served with hummus veggie sandwiches (my fave). I won’t bore you with yet another diatribe of how much I am OVER winter, how tired I am of snow, yada yada yada, blah blah blah. Just take a good look at the photo above and imagine the ice drifts away….
