I don’t know about you all, but my favorite part of a salad are the crunchies. And I mean the bits and pieces that go on top of the actual lettuce. This salad is just one big crunch. It’s packed with snap peas, cucumbers, creamy avocado, and a creamy dressing that sends your tastebuds into overdrive. It's the perfect summer, pool-side salad and even great served with some chips to use a vessel to your mouth. It’s sweet and tangy and packed with nutrients. Because the goal is to eat nutrient-dense dishes without tasting like it. I brought this dish over to my friend’s house (a friend who HATES anything green), and she ate the whole thing.
