I’m so into Pioneer Woman lately! If she’s not on the food network I check On Demand if they have her show. I think it’s because I’m kinda intrigued with her life on their ranch, and I cannot get over her colorful Le Creuset pots! LOVE IT!!! She prepared this salad and it looked so yummy. We are not big salad eaters in our house and I know we need to change that. I didn’t use Pecans because we only have almonds. I also made the dressing and I’m thinking from now on I will make my own dressing, it is so simple and much healthier compared to what you get in the store. We loved this salad so much that we had it three times this week already!
