Notes

It may seem like more ingredients so it is hare-- but promise it is not it is really just throwing all of the salad ingredients into a bowl, as much as you want. I don't have certain measurements for the onion or avocado-- just depends on your preference! 
The only thing you have to "make" is the dressing which takes 5 minutes & if you want to make the easy croutons.
