Hi Guy's, Let's eat bird food and stay healthy. I can't even say how much I love salads. If my hubby ask me to choose a restaurant to go, I always select the one which serve salads. Who don't love fresh and colorful salad with a tangy, sweet, creamy dressing. But at home I prefer low calorie salad dressing made with lemon, pepper, garlic and some times dressing made with Dijon mustard.
Once I had couscous chickpea salad at a restaurant. From there I got the idea of quinoa chickpea salad. My hubby loved it and no need to ask me. For more salad recipes stay tuned guy's.
