In the Kitchen: My Go-To Lunch Salad

Sep 19

It’s a pretty well-known fact I’m a salad fiend. I can eat the same salad for weeks on end without getting sick of it. Of course, it has to be a really damn good salad for that to happen. I’m always on the hunt for new salads to try and I’ll try just about anything. There was a time when I just couldn’t get enough of greek salads or cobb salads with yummy turkey bacon. But recently I read an article on Poosh about Kourtney’s Health Nut salad order and it sounded pretty darn good so I knew I had to try it. Since I’m not vegan, I made sure to other versions of ingredients although I’m sure plant-based is much better for you overall. This salad, and my current favorite lunch obsession, is lightly based on that salad with a few more changes.

It has a bit of a kick to it with the combination of dressing and delicious chickpeas. I load it up with protein and good fats to keep me filled up for longer and my brain going on high to beat that afternoon crash. I am a classic salad kind of girl so there has got to be a cheese and crunch of some kind all up in there. The Health Nut At Home Dressing is probably one of the best dressings I’ve ever made. Even making a whole batch ahead of time it lasts through the week and doesn’t get gross as some other dressings might. I change up the proteins between chicken and sometimes leftover steak, but the roasted Brussel sprouts are truly where it’s at. Of course, since it’s a salad so things can be altered, changed, added, or subtracted, but this is what I’m currently loving.

MY CURRENT GO-TO LUNCH SALAD

1 cup romaine lettuce
1 cup butter lettuce
cucumber slices
4 cherry tomatoes

Add the salad dressing ingredients to a container with a tight lid and shake to combine. Set aside. Add salad contents to a bowl (or a container with a lid). To with 2 tablespoons of dressing. Shake salad to combine and mix. Enjoy!
