Eat the Rainbow

I absolutely love a great salad! This one has lettuce, about a cup of chopped carrots, a large cucumber, 6 small sweet peppers, a green bell pepper and just a regular salad mix, with about a quarter cup of cheddar on top. I’ll add tomatoes later (I have a picky eater at home this weekend!!) serve with 2 chicken strips and a hard boiled egg for some protein, it’s such a yummy spring lunch!

This will feed 5 adults easily.

****Pro tip: I prep my veggies for the week at the same time so no extra mess!****

... Read moreEating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables is a great way to boost your health and add essential nutrients to your diet. This salad highlights the importance of incorporating a diverse range of vegetables, offering not just flavor but also a spectrum of vitamins and minerals that can support overall health. Springtime is ideal for fresh produce, and you can easily swap out ingredients based on your preferences or what’s in season. Adding protein like chicken strips and eggs not only enhances the flavor but also makes the meal more filling and nutritious. To maximize your meal prep efficiency, consider washing and chopping your veggies in advance, ensuring that healthy choices are always ready for quick lunches or dinners. If you're looking for more creative salad variations, consider experimenting with different dressings that complement the crunch of fresh vegetables or adding grains like quinoa for an extra nutrient boost. Remember, a colorful plate is usually a sign of a nutrient-dense meal that can keep you energized throughout the day.
