I liked all of the colorful elements in this salad and the crunch from the celery and cashews were welcome. I served with avocado and tomato slices on the recommended romaine for an easy lunch. The salad would be make a nice luncheon salad in the individual stuffed tomatoes. Thank you for sharing the recipe! Made for Spring 2012 Pick a Chef.

Hi! I'm of Irish heritage, with a little bit of American Indian, Spanish, and English in me. I was raised in the heart of Cajun Country, but have traveled extensively in the U.S. and abroad. I'm in the restaurant business and have worked in every aspect of it for the past 35 years. I'm also a Jazz vocalist. My passions in life are singing, gardening, and cooking. I'm in the process of writing a cookbook, as a legacy to my mother, who passed away in 1979, who was a fabulous cook, and who always wanted to write her own cookbook. I have one daughter, and a beautiful granddaughter, who is the love of my life. I can't wait to be able to teach her how to cook and cook with her! Thanks for your interest in me! God bless you and have a wonderful day!
