Okay, who has overdone it with cookies and candy and junk food? I have. Sugar doesn't even sound good to me right now... Here is a great recipe for a light lunch, snack, or side dish. It's tart lemon-y dressing really tastes good after all the sweets and rich foods.

This sounds like heaven. I am so ready for a meal like this. thanks!
That's what I thought! I made a double batch a few days ago and it's gone--seems like the only veggies I have had in days...
