Ya know, I haven’t had grapes is a very long time (aside from the kind that are made into a liquid and make me giggle…ahem – wine), and after making this salad, I’m seriously questioning why that is! Wow, those round little buggers are delicious, and they make for the perfect addition to this salad! Not only that, but they are packed with all kinds of nutrition!

Look at all those goodies! And all in a tiny lil grape! Okay, back to this salad.
This salad is so good, and it’s really simple, since it just involves putting all the ingredients on a plate, mixing, and eating. Um, dinner doesn’t get much easier than that!
