A Note From the Kitchen
This salad solves the side-dish problem: something fresh and healthy that takes only a few minutes to put together while the main meal is cooking.
It pairs naturally with Pesto Ground Turkey & White Rice, but it also works as a standalone side for chicken, shrimp, burgers, and other Eatery meals.
