Since a party usually involves a lot of decadent foods, I try to include a few healthy options as well as a few dishes for our vegetarian friends. It is also an opportunity for me to try new things. This is one such recipe--not your traditional college-type post, but many of you are like our son who wants GOOD and HEALTHY food along with all the fun stuff!
Check out the salad we made for our Oscar party from Giada's newly published 'Feel Good Food' cookbook. I exchanged feta for goat cheese and added extra amounts. And I added pomegranate seeds for extra crunch!
Simple, flavorful, filling, budget-friendly, and healthy. Great salad to add to any meal. Take a serving along to class.
