1 Easy Salad 3 Flavorful Ways

Hello again Melrose Family Friends! Allie, here, with Miss Allie's Kitchen. I’m excited as ever to be back posting one of my favorite recipes. Actually, today we really have 3 recipes in one.

Salads get a really bad wrap, amirighttt? I think one of the biggest mistakes people make is making the same salad for lunch over and over again, until the sheer thought of looking at lettuce gives them the creeps. I get it, I’ve been there!

Today I’ll be giving you a salad “template” if you will, one exxxtremly simple dressing, and 3 filler options to switch things up. Each recipe will make 2 salads, so if you choose to create all 3, you’ll have 6 fantastic meals prepped and ready for the week ahead.

Fill the rest of your week in with nutritious breakfast options like these Sneaky Sweet Potato Oat cups or my Easy Apple Compote Parfait, and end the day with my Chorizo and Collard Green Slow Cooker Soup and you’re well on your way to scoring BIG on your meal plan checklist.

FOR EACH SALAD YOU'LL NEED:

Cooked Chicken Breast – I like to roast up a large batch of Chicken for the week on Sundays

Cooked Quinoa

Lettuce – Romaine, Spinach, Spring Mix – you choose!

Limes

Olive Oil

Salt

By using these ingredients, we make sure each salad has a dose of protein, complex carbs, and healthy fat. You’ll just squeeze the lime, drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle the salt over the finished salad which actually creates a really fresh and flavorful dressing. Trust me.
