This salad is PACKED with super foods! Kiwi, oranges, black beans, kale, avocados…can it get any better?! And delicious to boot! Omit the beans to make this a Whole30 recipe!
We got a thick blanket of snow overnight and I am loving it. I might sing a different tune a few months from now, but it’s so pretty out there and the cold is exhilarating. I promised my boys some snow play time after school today, so I am getting geared up for forts and snowmen!
Speaking of pretty, could a salad be any prettier than this one? This Superfood Salad is PACKED with nutrients and vitamins, which will cause your brain and body to sing you a song of thanks. Next time I make it, I may try to pack in even more super foods. Blueberries? Salmon? Walnuts? Grilled Chicken?
I made this superfood-packed salad on Monday and between Dan and I we had it polished off by Tuesday afternoon. It was an enormous score and was devoured with ZERO guilt.
The Orange Herb Vinaigrette dressing even comes with a no-guilt tag. I made it on the chunkier side intentionally. The fresh herbs and green onions add a nice touch of flavor to the salad.
So you have pretty much just found the perfect salad. It is nutrient-dense AND delicious. Enjoy! Have a great rest of your week!
