Super Green Salad 

On a recent trip to Bulgaria, my cousin Mila, invited us for dinner at her beautiful home. I immediately accepted and was super excited as she is a healthy plant-based eater and an excellent chef. The salad she served was gorgeous and so tasty, I had to grab the recipe from her and share with you guys. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!
