A simple oatmeal cookie isn’t any less appealing to me, but when you add granola to it, they go from ordinary to wonderful. The taste and texture of this cookie are so much better than those of traditional oatmeal cookies that it might be the best cookie ever.

Reviews
Strawberries are a nice addition!
This salad contains a few make ahead components that lead to a beautifully composed salad in the end. I followed the recipe exactly besides marinating the chicken for 8 hours. No harm there. All the flavors combined were great with the poppy dressing.
