This salad is therapeutic for me. It is absolutely, positively, no second thoughts about it, hands and feet down, my favorite salad in the world. It is full of refreshing flavor and will make you feel amazing. I give 100% of the credit of this salad to La Mer Seafood Co. This is a food store I grew up with in my hometown of Armonk, NY and I highly recommend it. Website here: http://www.lamerseafood.net/index.html

If you are looking for a meal to prepare for a long active day or want something satisfying after a long day, read on!! This meal idea was sparked in the prepared foods section at Whole Foods. The truffle oil chicken salad there transformed into this delicious pasta meal after I read about a spinach and mushroom recipe by Rick Rodgers on Bon Apetit.
