Notes
Note: There is just no wrong way to make this salad. The key is to layer, layer, layer, and add more layers in a container that you can see the layers. It is a gorgeous salad and so tasty!
It is important to not load it down with dressing while in the bowl. Let the person enjoying it choose what flavor they wish to add to your Mega-Salad Masterpiece!
