That sounds like a variation on one of my favorite salads BUT I think you'll find that if you add some craisins, it makes the whole thing MUCH more exciting.
On a different note, I'd love to see a post on exercising during pregnancy aimed at those of us who were already pretty fit to begin with. Can you suggest exercises that we might sub in for things we can no longer do late in pregnancy (such as anything that involves lying flat on your back- like a bench press)?
