I made this salad a few times this week, and it nearly made me forget that it was January. It’s tangy, crisp, savory, sweet, and satisfying. This isn’t a food blog with pictures, so you’ll need to imagine a colorful salad. The recipe is adaptable, so don’t overthink it. The apple was my favorite part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients I had this week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a handful of greens, such as spring mix with spinach<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1\/2 apple, diced<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 carrot, diced or shredded<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A spoonful of beets, diced (I used picked beets)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A spoonful of chickpeas, rinsed and drained<\/p>\n\n\n\n
feta cheese<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chicken leftovers, chopped<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sunflower seeds<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a little chopped fresh parsley<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dressing: two parts olive oil mixed with one part balsamic vinegar*, a spoonful of dijon mustard, and a drizzle of honey<\/p>\n\n\n\n
*I had lemon-infused olive oil and a fig balsamic vinegar on hand from a foodie friend, so I used these. Yum. Any vinaigrette will taste good, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This salad is a mood booster, for sure. \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n\n\n\n
