I mentioned a few weeks ago that one of my goals for 2019 is to be healthier overall. An easy way for me to make sure I am getting all the nutrients I need is to be more intentional about lunch. Occasionally I will enjoy Chipotle for lunch, but most of the time I try to stick to a salad or soup (since it’s so cold out). I get bored pretty easily with salads, especially when I am eating them every day, so I like to mix up the toppings. This simple winter salad has Trader Joe’s Cruciferous Crunch Collection for the base and the toppings are easy to change up as needed. My favorite toppings are dried cranberries, pomegranate seeds, goat cheese, and pecans. Sometimes, I like to add in grilled chicken, berries, pumpkin seeds, or walnuts, but I always top it off with Trader Joe’s Green Goddess Salad Dressing. This dressing is a much healthier alternative to my favorite ranch or even balsamic because it is made of avocado, onion, lemon juice, chives, basil, and garlic. I am usually just making this salad for myself, but it is also great for hosting and can easily be adapted for nut or cheese allergies. Enjoy this simple winter salad! xoxo
