Here’s a healthy and hearty salad that serves a crowd. It is modified slightly from a Whole Foods recipe. I used chard instead of kale and made a basil-feta dressing instead of just dressing it with red wine vinegar. It definitely needs the dressing for my tastes. This keeps well for several days in the fridge.

I took this to our golf group's pot luck for the final round of the U.S. Open Sunday and we've been eating on it since. How about young Rory McIlroy? Happy to see him close it out in record fashion!
Made any healthy salads now that summer is here?
