Italian Sub Salad

This was one of those crazy busy weeks! I do apologize for posting less this week but things will slow down for a bit for a few weeks. Football in Texas is nothing to shy away from, even at the middle school level. Well, to be honest even at the PeeWee (Little League) level. With that said, I must tell you we will soon be heading straight into Basketball season which is a first for our family. We are not big Basketball fans, so we really do not watch any NBA games unless we are at a block party and it happens to be on. Where as football consumes at least five to six days of our week (between the middle school, varsity, college, and NFL).

Busy hectic schedules often calls for quick to make meals. As the wife and mother of our home, I don't want to rely on take out to feed our family so I try to find something that I can have made ahead, cook in a slow cooker, or ways to reinvent any leftovers.

Here is a tasty go to salad that everyone seemed to enjoy, and we even ate again the next day for both lunches and dinner. Needless to say it feeds a crowd.
