Best Salad Ever
Salads used to be so boring when I was at Weight Watchers. They were entirely low-fat with an abundance of carrots, plastic cheese and Kraft Italian Dressing. They were seriously horrid.
Nowadays my salads look a lot different and they are super satisfying.
I like to get a variety of veggies, add some nuts or seeds, and some herbs and top it with a tasty dressing. Then all you need to do is pair it with some protein think fish, chicken or beef and voila - a party for your tastebuds!
This salad is amazing!
It has the perfect crunch with the celery, cucumber and pepitas balanced with some tart creaminess with the salad dressing and goat cheese.
Definitely give it a go!
