RECIPE BACKSTORY
I was invited toa last min. BBQ and had little to no time to make anything so I grabbed what I had threw it together and this is what i got!! There are so many things you can do to this salad to make it your own. chicken is great to add. You can change up the veggies to something you have on hand have fun with it! I've taken this to many bbq's, and partys and everyone always goes crazy for it and its simple to make!
