Happy TGIF:)

Hola…Wait, If we are sticking to theme it should be 你好 ?

Anyhoo, our first yummy little number is… Drum Roll Please…

 !Crunch Asian Salad!

So, today I’m slightly cheating. This IS from Pintrest and I did create this little yummy dish. I didn’t, however, make it last night, I made it for a girl party last Saturday and it seemed to be a hit!(people asking for the recipe = WINNING!) Besides, I happened to love it as well. This dish was very easy and for me that’s a MUST. I’m not one of those people that wants to spend hours cooking and have a huge clean up later, I would rather stick Easy Mac in a bowl and call it done.

Enjoy Kiddies!

Salad Rating: 8 of 10

What I love about this salad: It has a crunch to it, it’s inexpensive and it’s a little different from your usual salad.
