Author Notes
I love salads. I mean I love them so much, so I don't need anything else. I love to have grains in my salad to make it more complete. This salad was probably one of the best I have ever made. I always have tuna in the cabinet for "just in case my fridge is empty and I don't have time to thaw items from the freezer", I always have edamame, because its nutritious and very versatile and I have been planning on making soft-boiled eggs for quite some time. So here it is: you really don't need any entree or a desert either. —Daria Faulkner
