Welcome to Day 11 of  ’14 Days of Simplicity’, talking today about one of my favourite subjects – salad!

I enjoy nothing more than a beautiful, lush salad full to the brim with colour, different textures, flavours, herbs and homemade dressings. I always get so excited when a nutrition client tells me how boring their daily lunch time salad is, because then I have the opportunity to teach them how to create ‘The Vibrant Life Plate’, a salad so incredible they will soon be craving this plate of awesome instead of dreading it.

When you build the type of salad I am going to describe to you, you will feel so satisfied, so balanced and so energized that you will completely understand why I call this ‘The Vibrant Life Plate’

Start with:

  • A bed of lush greens like baby kale, spinach, baby greens, dandelion greens or arugula
  • Thinly sliced organic yellow, red or orange peppers
  • Shredded red cabbage
  • Sliced cucumber
  • handful of grape tomatoes
  • 1/2 avocado, cubed
  • 2 tbsp raw pecans or walnuts or almonds
  • 2 tbsp hemp seeds, or sunflower or pumpkin seeds
  • optional: 2 tbsp herb goat cheese or goat feta

Jenn’s Favorite Dressing

  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp maple syrup

Add together in a small mason jar, shake and serve over ‘The Vibrant Life Plate’

This is a salad you will want to show off, a salad your family and co-workers will say they wish someone had made them and a salad that will feed your body, satisfy your taste buds and get you on your way to feeling more VIBRANT in your everyday!
