A friend of Dr. Yum shared this recipe at a salad class given to shoppers at The Table at St. George's, a local fresh market food pantry. The Dr. Yum Project also participated and introduced shoppers to our Dinosaur Kale Salad recipe and our Pineapple Power Salad. Everyone loved the easy preparation of this Southwest Salad, but the delicious dressing was the star of the show! This salad could easily be converted to a main dish by adding grilled shrimp, salmon, or chicken.
