Did I mention colors excite me! And, this salad does just that as it contains all the shades of the rainbow, or close to it. It’s a fun and easy one to make and adds so much color, texture, and crunch to your palette and plate. Great served as a side salad, or in wraps, on burgers, in sandwiches, or stuffed in your favorite burritos or tacos.
