Boujee is hip-hop slang for something “luxurious in lifestyle yet humble in character” – and this salad is just that! Simply luxurious and perfect to impress, yet humble and easy enough to throw together just for yourself as well.
The amounts are not measured so that you can chop and change as needed! Enjoy!
