show. \u00a0I think it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m kinda intrigued with her life on their ranch, and I cannot get over her colorful Le Creuset pots! \u00a0LOVE IT!!! \u00a0She prepared this salad and it looked so yummy. \u00a0We are not big salad eaters in our house and I know we need to change that. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t use Pecans because we only have almonds. \u00a0I also made the dressing and I&#8217;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. \u00a0We loved this salad so much that we had it three times this week already!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2479\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2479\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
