Salad

I was going to make a more intricate dinner tonight but, decided instead to make a very large salad and have it with a fresh bagel. So I understand that everyone knows how to make a salad and whatnot, as my friend kindly said "There are many recipes out there for salads!" I figured, why not?

Veggie-Filled Salad (and bagel on side)

A quick, easy, and absolutely delicious dinner; It was done far too quickly....

1 tbsp roasted, salted pumpkin seeds

On the side I had a fresh warm wheat sesame bagel  from a local bakery. I added about a tbsp of butter to it.
