Summary
Summary: XXXX
Salads have come a long way from the days of iceberg lettuce and cottony tomatoes. If you're like me, when you think of salads, you envision a variety of crisp greens and vegetables--maybe even some spicy arugula.
This recipe was created by Amber Duncan, one of our Carilion chefs, who is a big advocate of in-season veggies.
