My friend Donna always teases me because I don’t have a sweet tooth. In fact, I hate to admit it but I barely even skim any recipe that includes cupcakes, cakes, tarts, bars, cookies….
I will never make them.
First of all I am a terrible baker. But more importantly-
I simply don’t crave them.
This is exactly why Donna says to me,
“Are you sure you are a girl?”
Um yes…
- just one that would much rather eat an order of mozzarella sticks than a cupcake.
Oh –but did I mention I can eat gummy bears and Mike n’ Ikes like they are going out of style?!
This salad is the perfect combination of naturally sweet and savory with a tasty crunch.
My husband was really impressed and it took mere minutes to make.
I hope you like it too!

I do have a big sweet tooth, but am trying to find some healthy alternatives as I revamp my diet for health reasons. This salad looks like it would be a great afternoon snack!
I hope you like it!
Love the sweet and savory combination in this salad! The fact that it’s super easy doesn’t hurt either!
My sweet tooth is my diet weakness!
Mmmm, this salad looks perfect!
Thanks Ashley!
