Lots of salad in our near future.
One day last month I realized I had gone almost 2 weeks without eating any fresh fruits or veggies. Well, expect for potatoes. But they were mashed and loaded with butter, cheese, and heavy cream.....so that probably doesn't count.
For some reason, I've been wanting blood oranges lately, but I can't recall ever seeing them in our local supermarkets. Fortunately for me, I found some at Sprouts on my last shopping trip.
I love using fruit in salad and I thought the blood oranges would make a nice addition to my standard berry and feta salad.
I also like to use almond for an added crunch. For my hubby's salad, I included chopped turkey breast as well.
Like I said, lots of salads are going into my meal planning. In fact, I just started a new Pinterest board just on salads if you'd like to check it out!
