(In under 10 minutes)
(Vegan and Vegetarian)
There are days where all I want to eat is meat and carbs, and there are days where I can’t stand the thought of eating either one, and just want something light and green! If you are having one of those same type of cravings, this will be your go-to 10 minute quick and easy salad! It is light, fresh, and the perfect spring salad. You can even throw in your favorite protein, and it would make a great dinner!
You know that spring mix that is sitting in your refrigerator, the one that is about the go bad and you are very close to throwing it out (sometimes before even opening it?) We are going to give that spring mix some love with this recipe. Fresh mint is an important ingredient in this salad. It makes it taste very refreshing and gives a nice zing! I really think you will love this simple, feel good, healthy, light salad. Enjoy!
