Season for Salads

Spring is here, and you know what that means! Its salad season! In the winter I hate eating salads for some reason. They just never appeal to me! But once warmer weather hits I’m craving them, especially lately.  I enjoy eating salads much more when I top them with things I really love eating.

Of course, veggies like carrots, broccoli and spinach are must-adds. But here are the things to throw into a salad to spruce it up:

• Strawberries
• Pecans or walnuts
• Craisins
• Grilled tofu
• Chickpeas
• Raspberry balsamic dressing
• Goat or Feta cheese

I love adding strawberries to my salad. It definitely gives them more flavor and I look forward to eating it! They taste great with a raspberry dressing, too!

Adding a protein like tofu or chickpeas (or chicken if you eat meat!) also really helps to bulk up the salad so I’m not feeling like all I ate was rabbit food. It helps keep me full!

What’s your favorite salad combo?
