You might be hearing more and more these days about the importance of healthy fats and the need to increase omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.
A great way to increase healthy fats into your diet is to make your own salad dressing using omega 3 rich oils such as olive oil.
I also recommend avoiding store bought dressings, as they contain inflammatory oils and not-so-good for you additives.
This salad is so delicious and easy to make and its a huge crowd pleaser! Even my pickiest kid loves this salad and will ask for seconds.
