Mediterranean Salad 2

Summer and salads are the perfect combination don’t you think? I love all types of green salads, but sometimes I like to try one that’s a little different than a typical green salad. I found two salad ideas that sounded amazing, so I combined them together and made it my own and it turned out really yummy.
