Big Seasonal Salads
Ingredients
- Salad mix I love to mix spicy arugula with fresh spinach or springmix
- Blueberries and raspberries or other berry/fruit in season
- Carrot sticks can sub with cucumber chopped into sticks
- Chopped walnuts or preferred nuts
- Feta or preferred cheese
- Hemp Hearts or sunflower seeds
- Avocado
- 1 Tbs Balsamic Vinegar per salad
- 1 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Tasting Olive Oil per salad
- 4 Chicken breasts (swap for chicken sausage, rotisserie chicken, or even fish) thinly sliced length ways and sauteed
- 1 Tbs Avocado oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- My favorite way to cook protein is just a quick cook on a skillet. Slice the chicken or chicken sausage thinly. If you're using chicken add some avocado oil to each side and then apply salt and pepper to each side and cook on the skillet for 5 minutes on each side checking for 165 degree temp in the middle.
- Add salad to bowl
- Add toppings to bowl
- Add 1 Tbs balsamic vinegar, 1 Tbs Olive Oil or your favorite dressing
For kids:
- If you're deconstructing for a kiddo, add all the components they love to their plate and show them how to eat and enjoy it! I usually swap feta for sliced cheese, I may add crackers or hearty pita on the side as well.
