This is a bright and easy salad with great salty flavor and crunch from the breadcrumbs. It goes with pretty much anything, and I make it often for lunches during the work day. Again, I don’t put measurements on some ingredients below because I think ratio of salad to cheese and other toppings is a personal choice based on preferences!
