I Only Made 15 Salad Recipes and They Vanished Fast

ByMandy

Only made 15 salads and they were gone faster than anyone could say, “Who brought the green stuff?” People acted like they were exclusive, and maybe they were. Nobody asked for dressing on the side or had follow-up questions. They just loaded up, came back for more, and then started asking for the list.
