Power Salad

May 30, 2016 by JennifersKitchen Leave a Comment

Power Salad

This website is brought to you without annoying ads because we can better live healthier lives without the influence of marketing. But running a high-traffic site is expensive. How can you help? If you purchase anything through the affiliate links on my site, your cost is the same, but I receive a small commission. Thank you!

Salads are often considered a good diet food because they’re high in nutrition while low in calories, but a plate of lettuce and carrot shreds for lunch leaves me with a very serious craving for a big bag of cookies before 2:30 rolls around.

No More Post-Salad Cravings

Loaded with protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and everything else you need to get you through the afternoon, this power salad is anything but skimpy, makes a perfect packed lunch, and won’t leave you feeling hungry later. It’s a full, satisfying meal in itself.

Healthy Salad Dressing Options

The salad dressing I use over my Power Salad is this Healthy Creamy Italian because it is my absolute favorite. Hoooooweeeva … all of my dressing recipes are healthy options, and this salad tastes great with any of them.

The Flexible Meal

Speaking of flexibility, that’s another great thing about this salad. Want more artichoke hearts? Pile ‘em on! Don’t have any tomatoes on hand? No prob. Like croutons with your salad? Go for it!

Oh, but you definitely need to try this salad with these luscious, buttery green ripe olives from Lindsay. I’ve never tasted an olive like this and they are, hands-down, my favorite!  Anytime I eat this salad, it’s got plenty of Lindsay Green Ripe olives on it.

No-Cooking Required

This Power Salad recipe is also the perfect meal for hot summer days. No heating up the kitchen. No dirty pots and pans! No cooking!

In about 10 minutes you have an easy, filling, delicious, and satisfying meal.

Enjoy!
