This recipe is called Junk Yard Salad but I swear I feel like a king eating it

Junk Yard Salad, as whimsical as it sounds, is a vibrant and hearty dish perfect for potlucks or a lively family dinner. Inspired by the idea of tossing together a bit of everything you have on hand, this salad is as versatile as it is delicious. You might want to whip this up when you have some veggies and cold cuts needing to be used, making sure nothing goes to waste while still serving something nutritious and appealing.
Junk Yard Salad is quite a filling option on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a light, brothy soup or some freshly baked garlic bread. If you’re serving it at a potluck, it complements barbecue meats or vegetarian pastas beautifully. For a casual family dinner, just add some fruit on the side and perhaps a pitcher of lemonade or iced tea to keep everyone refreshed.
