Healthy Living and Coca-Cola

Ahh, Coca-Cola. If you know Darrell and I, you know our love for this beverage has played a special part in our story! Lately, we’ve been trying to be more health-conscious and by doing so, drinking less soda.

Generally speaking, I’m not a fan of making salads at home because I feel like it doesn’t matter what I do, they do not taste restaurant-quality and the dressings in particular seem to require a ton of ingredients that I don’t keep on hand.

Anyone else feel my pain in this department?? All of that to say, I was pleasantly surprised to LOVE this salad!! So much so, I had a bowl of it again today.
