Note: This salad recipe is slightly different from what is pictured. Why? This image was actually taken a few years ago and I have since created this new recipe which in my opinion is much better! This salad would still be delicious with microgreens and finely sliced radish as pictured - so feel free to add these ingredients if desired! Here is an unstyled picture of the above recipe, taken on my front deck, before being quickly devoured in case you need a reference.
