Haaaayyyy!  I'm clawing my way back from grant submission-induced online inactivity.

The first recipe I wanted to show you this week is this Mediterranean Chopped Salad, which I've been making for a few years now.

Don't worry, we'll be back to donuts and cookies soon enough.

Need more salad action?  Check out this Greek Power Bowl and Strawberry Balsamic Salad, to name just a couple.

They, along with this chopped salad, are all light enough for the warmer weather, but still substantial enough to keep you going until dinner time.
