You guys. I am in love with salads.
There are two major reasons why – First off, they require minimal time to prepare and secondly, they are the easiest way to embrace a clean eating lifestyle. My kids love them because they have fun tossing the veggies and fruits together in the mixing bowl. It’s sort of a bonding time for us; I chop and they toss.
The thing with salads though is that if you’re not careful they can get old and boring quickly. I’m constantly on the lookout for ways I can get the kids to eat their greens. But, it’s more than just that, I personally feel that in order to maintain my clean eating lifestyle I need to keep things fun and interesting and trying new recipes is a great motivator for me.

In my search, I also found a way to make use of all those leftover veggies- the ones that are begging to get used yesterday! Some of the salads are so easy to make, they don’t even require a recipe.
