Happy Salad

Hey friends!
It's no joke that I need to become healthier and lose some of these pounds that are quite literally and figuratively, weighing me down.

Part of my problem is I simply don't take the time for myself to ensure I get a healthy lunch packed. I'm fairly consistent with adding more healthy items to our dinners and I usually eat eggs from my chickens for breakfast. But lunch is nearly always eaten out, and not at the healthiest of places :/

Last night, if you're following my Instagram feed you may have seen my salad for today... actually took the time to make it last night! And the care and time I took into doing that is what I most enjoyed! Plus I had something to look forward to today. It made me a happy lady.

Here's what's in my- mostly raw-
Happy salad:

Baby spinach
musclan (sp?) greens
Raw sliced zucchini (swear I could eat this everyday)
Grape tomatoes
Raw bite-size broccoli
A little freshly cracked black pepper and sea salt
A little sprinkle of low fat cheese
A small amount of Caesar dressing
(need a little fat to keep me satisfied)

What are your fave raw salad ingredients?

Ps, just realized I had spinach in my teeth ;)

  1. I love salads, but I hate putting them together. I love little bit of everything in my salad I will mix fruits and veggies together and I love topping it with sunflower seeds

    1. Thank you! It really was one of my favorites I've ever made. I love, love, love raw zucchini. I first started eating it raw after I tried Giada's recipe of raw zucchini ribbons with lemon and cracked pepper and sea salt. Love that salad for spring and summer gatherings! Thanks for commenting Marina!
      Have an awesome weekend!
