I don’t know about you, but I’ve definitely had enough of Winter this year. And when I think of Spring, I think of salad and its healthy, delicious goodness.

Here’s a truly wonderful and festive recipe for Bloody Mary Tomato Salad from the folks at Food o’ Del Mundo that’s much more exciting than the bland iceberg lettuce salads so many of us remember as children…just the sort of salad to help usher in that Spring feeling.
