Salad salad salad. I could eat salad every day… especially for lunch. In fact, I’ve gone through salad streaks where I’ve done just that. There’s something about a bowl full of veggies, fruits, lean proteins, and healthy fats that just makes me feel darn good with lots of energy. Love that balance.

I’m a salad girl through and through. Not like a petite side salad type of gal, but more of a protein packed meal type of salad chick. Salads that are wholesome and warm and comforting all-in-one-bowl are the best type of salads. We’re talking grilled chicken and sautéed onions and strawberries in thick balsamic vinegar pilled high on top of crispy salad greens and sweet pecans.

Our kitchen has been cranking out all types of salads lately so get ready to up your salad game. Can I get an Amen?
