Why make a plain old salad, when you can try this out and discover that it’s your new favorite salad?
By Maya Moscovich
You know how in supermarkets they have these sweet and salty bars? These two flavors, sweet and salty, are two opposites that go so well together. It’s like they emphasize each other. This salad is combining exactly these two opposites and that what makes it so good. The truth is that I wasn’t planning on making this salad or even using these ingredients, but when I noticed I forgot to buy lettuce and only had tomatoes in the fridge, I had to act fast. Also, I like salads that can be kept in the fridge for the morning after, just in case there are leftovers and this salad is definitely one like that. Let your taste buds celebrate.
