Anyway, I have a huge stack of recipes that I find places and always plan on trying but have yet to do so. Well not this one. This one made it to the top of my pile. I actually made this for the first time last week but have been having it again for lunch this week. It is a wham bam packed salad - complex carb and protein all in one!! Oh and this is vegetarian too!!
