a guide to: salads

When most people think about a salad, I feel like they picture the typical restaurant side salad, consisting of merely a couple grape tomatoes, maybe some shredded carrots, and two garlic croutons atop some soggy and white iceberg lettuce. I personally find this to be an insult, leaving the average person to assume that they hate salads due to this pathetic imitation of what nourishing your body in a “healthy” way looks like. I say “healthy”, because health is so unique to everyone. Nonetheless, salads can be fun, creative, tasteful, unique, and exactly what YOU want them to be.

Below, you will find my personal guide to salad creation, my favorite toppings (conveniently sorted out according to category), sure to leave you satisfied, happy, and nourished.

get creative, experiment, & enjoy! :)
