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

Kale and Quinoa Salad with Lemon Tahini Dressing

Modifications: 

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

Rating = 8/10

Crunchy Cabbage Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing

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
