Hello Everyone!
Recently I have been turning to salads for a quick light alternative lunch. I never realized salads could be so good once you are creative with them. My preferences are usually a simple tossed salad or garden salad. This salad can complement your main meals and can easily fit in as an appetizer. This salad can be eating with any form of protein or simply alone. Try adding a salad with your meal every day, your body will thank you for it!
