Truth is, I don't like salads much. When eating a salad I always eat everything but the lettuce! Salads that use iceberg lettuce are just not for me. I'm always searching for other types of leafy greens so I can still enjoy a refreshing salad. Depending on the meal, I choose between a filling bean salad or a very simple & refreshing salad, like the one I've chosen for this post today.
This is healthy, delicious, and only 6 points on Weight Watchers (points vary depending on amount of mozzarella balls and type of dressing used). Enjoy!
