An homage to my late husband, Richard, and my Mother in Law - The reason we used to call it a 3 day salad in our house is because you make a bowl and it lasts for 3 meals.
I thought I was quite good at making salads until my husband, who didn't do much cooking, made his version for me, and from then on, it's my go to salad bowl. The secret is in the chopping and dicing and it's actually super easy to make. The main advantage is it uses a mixture of whatever ingredients you have to hand, summer or winter. The trick I have learned is to have a bowl big enough to to toss all the ingredients together well and chop, grate, dice, chop!
