Wintergreen Salad

I think it’s pretty clear by now that I love salads. Shocking right? A nutritionist that loves her greens. But I put a lot of thought behind my salads. It’s not just lettuce and some boring dressing, but rather tons of flavors, fruits, veggies, grains, all balanced with a protein. I think the best way to make a salad more than just, well, a salad, is by incorporating all macronutrients to it to really balance it out and actually keep us full and satiated.

This wintergreen salad was actually inspired by one Adam and I had in an airport. With garlic roasted baby gold potatoes, goat cheese, dates, grilled chicken and honey crisp apple, what’s not to love?

Gone are the days of boring salads with lack of flavor and vibrancy. I am here to show you a salad doesn’t have to be boring, bland or one noted.

    This was amazing! Not your typical boring salad when trying to eat healthy. It tasted like something served at a restaurant. Only thing different that I did was swap feta for goat cheese. 10/10!
