Winter Green Salad

Winter Green Salad

People tend to forget to eat salads and other raw foods in the cold winter weather. This salad is a good way to get your greens by combining somewhat heartier salad textures. I find that this salad is filling enough to be the main course, with a bit of bread or some rice cakes on the side. It will also work as an appetizer in a smaller serving.
