I eat a lot of salads! t’s actually a weekly thing for me. And to be honest, a lot of the ones made were based upon what I had in my garden at the time. Overall, I just try to keep it simple and quick.
In addition to simple and quick… I’ve adopted this whole idea of “eat a lighter lunch” and treat yourself to a bigger dinner type mentality. So salads have become a go to for me.

The lentils are filled with lots of fiber and protein and will keep you going throughout the rest of the day, and the strawberries add a nice sweetness. Plus, who doesn’t need a good dose of cheese in their life?!? All are good ideas!
