One thing I love about the idea of making up these salads is you can make it up the night before.  I don’t know about your family, but typically in my house, when I am trying to get the kids out the door, it is not the right time to be putting together a potluck dish.  I love that Pinterest is around now so I can search, I also love that in this day and age is the ways we can quickly find new recipes from Pinterest to Kindle books on Amazon any of them can be pulled up on a smartphone!
