Notes

  • You may add 2 cups of shredded cheese for calcium purposes. I did not add cheese because it increased the calories and dairy is very inflammatory.
  • The salad is usually refrigerated for several hours before serving, which allows the flavors to blend and the layers to meld together.
  • The bottom layer should be something that won’t get soggy.  That is why I start with Bell Peppers or Cucumbers.
