To a few of you, this salad might scare you, but let me tell you that it might be one of the most delicious and easy salads I've ever made. It's packed with finely chopped and lightly crisp vegetables, dressed in a bright lemon dressing and perfectly paired with a grounding walnut cream. It's light but herby, crunchy but creamy. It's my dream salad.
