Jen & Dave's Big Ass Salad
I love salads, but hate seeing boring salads at restaurants. You know, the ones that literally look like rabbit food? Not only do they not hold much nutritional content, but they are boring and often won't be something you lunge at to eat. Dave and I have been enjoying salads together for years, and this is one that keeps up happy and full for a long time.
