I picked up this salad at the Whole Foods deli a few months ago and became totally obsessed with it. The colors are beautiful. The flavors are fresh, sweet, savory and clean. It is packed with superfoods and literally makes me feel like going out and running a mile! (And I never otherwise feel like running a mile.) This salad is actually guaranteed to make you happy…seriously!

Do you ever get cravings and think your body is trying to tell you what it needs? I firmly believe in listening to my body, and sometimes (often) it actually tells me I need to eat something green.  I get this reminder a lot…it’s hard to incorporate green veggies into a busy lifestyle; they’re not served in the drive thru! But I’m always trying to make time to prepare a big salad like this on Sunday to last the week or I’ll at least grab something good at the Whole Foods deli. Steamed broccoli or green beans can’t be the only easy to fix veggie on the table. So try this salad as your go to side dish. It will stay fresh all week…but it’s so delicious it may not last that long!
