I'm on a salad kick lately. I love the easiness of putting a salad together and how I can put healthy ingredients in it. I equally love homemade and store-bought dressings. If you are wondering how to make a basic homemade dressing, it only involves a few ingredients such as olive oil, lemon, salt, and pepper. From that basic concoction, you can be creative with your favorite dressing add-ons: herbs, garlic, different kinds of vinegar, anchovies, and fruit. 

   Adding super-foods into my salad gives us the extra healthy boost! I love these Top 10 Superfoods that I actually add not only to my salads but also to yogurts, cottage cheese, shakes, and some recipes. To get ahead of the game, I meal prep the majority of the salad ingredients. This means that I pre-cook my proteins and grains chicken breast, beans, and quinoa), wash and chop the veggies, and pre-portion the salads especially when I am expecting busy days ahead.
