Simple salads take little effort, yet they allow for lots of beaming nutrition to shine through, especially when you keep the vegetables raw and organic.
Everyone loves cucumbers, for example, yet when you combine them with red radishes and some Paleo mayonnaise, the results are "Can you pass the salad, please?" And that is a good thing to hear when kids of any age are sitting around the table!
We strongly believe that salads are not just for summer; they should be consumed year-round. It's easy to keep that in mind when you discover just how diverse they can be - from shrimp to tuna salad, to celery with olives, and all the way back to fresh peach and bacon salad, there is something for everyone to love.
Salads are a great way to eat your vegetables, and we don't mean to eat only greens. It is the vast array of colors that gives them an exciting visual appeal, and they are always quick at hand, oftentimes with no cooking required. Get chopping, find a nice serving bowl, and make sure there is always something nutritious to decorate the table.
You can serve this cooling salad alongside a spicy buffalo chicken meatloaf, just as well next to a skewer or two of grilled Asian-balsamic steaks. It is versatile, easy on the budget, and ready in 20 minutes or less. Time to work on your chopping skills!
