Now that Leap Day has come and gone we have another special day to celebrate…Spring Forward, March 8! The days will begin to get longer and we’ll be outdoors more often enjoying the sunlight. Sunshine delivers vitamin D directly through our skin, so be sure to enjoy some time without sunscreen, everything in moderation.
This salad is green and red and tastes like “Spring is on the Way!” Very easy to make, Bon Appetit!
