Of course, if you want to add any sort of dressing or oils that adds a lot of unnecessary fat and sodium.
What went right:
It's a great salad, light but filling. The great part about this salad is that it is light enough to have a large portion if you feel so inclined, but this size is definitely enough to satiate hunger.
What went wrong:
The tomatoes started to get a little warm since it took a while to eat the salad. Other than that, nothing.
What I would do next time:
I think it would be good to try it without the tomatoes, and instead add halved grapes and toasted nuts...possibly pecans, or honey roasted walnuts.
Would I do this in college:
Salads are definitely going to be a large part of my diet in college.
