Whilst this might not look like a quick and easy throw together salad, with a bit of clever planning it could be! You could easily save some leftover sweet potatoes or cooked quinoa from a previous dinner during the week and then put them all together in a salad. Although, I made this from scratch for my lunch and it was worth waiting 25 minutes for.

Eating salad this week has been good for me. With the emotion of my littlest starting big school, being ‘that time of the month‘ and living in a bit of a building site, I could have easily buried my head in a bag of jam doughnuts. Some days I really didn’t want to eat salad but feeling accountable to the blog and the challenge spurred me on to just do it and I am so glad I did. I have definitely had more energy and feel more comfortable in my skin. I have also created 7 new salad recipes and got the blog bug back. Its a win win and all thanks to those little green leaves 😉
