The other day we realized that, nine times out of ten, we were making the same salad over and over again. We’re not saying that leafy greens, tomatoes and goat cheese, topped off with some olive oil, salt and pepper isn’t delicious, but it can get boring when that’s the only salad you’re making. And if making a salad in general is already kind of a stretch, feeling bored about it won’t help incentivize you to make it…which is why we needed to switch things up!
With this poolside salad, we’re skipping the leafy greens altogether and using some hearty broccoli as the base. It’s a great source of vitamin C, potassium and folic acid, plus we added apple, pear, red onions and cashews for extra flavor and nutrients. Once that’s all together, it’s just a matter of mixing up the dressing – mayo, Greek yogurt, lemon juice and honey – and then tossing it all together. It’s that easy!
This is a great option anytime, but especially during the summer when you want something refreshing and filling, yet also healthy and easy to make. It takes under 15 minutes to make (plus a couple minutes longer if you want to pop it in the fridge and let the flavors build), so there’s really no reason not to make it. Plus, it switches up our lunch and dinner game and makes us excited eat something healthy and delicious!
