New Salad Recipes to Try



In the past, one of the main reasons why I've had trouble sticking with my healthy eating habits is boredom/lack of options. I was so bored eating the same salad every night. Now, thanks to the internet, there are so many delicious options out there! I wanted to share some new (to me) salad recipes that we've tried recently. 



Kale Caesar Salad with Crispy Chickpeas
Modifications
  • Used only 1/4 cup mayo and 1 tbsp olive oil in dressing
  • Replaced olive oil with cooking spray when roasting chickpeas
Rating = 9/10



Modifications: 
  • I needed more dressing so adjusted the dressing by 1.5
  • Nixed the nuts

Rating = 8/10


Modifications:
  • I cut the cabbage and carrot amounts in half bc holy cow that was a lot for just two people
  • I nixed the avocado
  • I used regular sesame seeds instead of black - I know, the shame!

Rating = 7/10




Kale and Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad
Modifications:
  • I only used 1 head of kale and that made enough for leftovers
  • Nixed the nuts
  • Used shaved parmesan instead of pecorino
Rating = 9/10




  • I have not tried this one yet but DANG IT LOOKS GOOD!
