Lettuce-Free Salad Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Lettuce-Free Salad Recipe). I came up with this one day when I was in the mood for a 'non-traditional' tossed salad, and found out my lettuce had gone bad. I ate the 'toppings' instead, and liked it better! You can use scoops of this to top a green salad, if you prefer. The recipe halves nicely, as well.
