Happy Friday everyone!

Aw, you'd think it was summer with this recipe I have to share. But alas, it is not. I must have spring fever though, I even bought Tulips for the kitchen the other day. Okay spring, hurry!

Today I'm going to share a salad. Well not literally unless you want to come to my house...

Now that sounds good. Even sounds, YECK, healthy.
Is the a store bought dressing I could use? I don't cook that much do the herbs would go to waste.

Yes it is healthy LOL. I bet you could find some type of Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing. Worth a try. All my spices and herbs used to go to waste too. But then I discovered what a delight they were to play with. What is scary, I've actually started to dream about recipes. I'm not kidding!
