Yin-Yang Super Charged Fantasy Salad

BarbieBarbie Miller

This salad is an exotic and beautiful presentation when layered in a clear trifle dish or any footed compote bowl. Nothing short of an explosion of flavors to your senses. Not only that, it is a power house of nutrition! Simply stated, it has it all... everything you could ever want in one bowl. Sweet, sour, salty, peppery, soft, crunchy, intense yet mild... you name it, it has all the elements! This salad is so flavorful you can’t even imagine it unless you try it for yourself.
