A fun fact about me is that I hate lettuce. I love many other vegetables, but something about lettuce just isn't for me. The problem with that is that I really want to like salad. Mid last year I had an epiphany and created what I'll be calling the Tails Salad. For all the lettuce haters out there, this one is for us.
What you need:
Spinach (I am sure you could use any leafy green here)
Carrots
Celery (optional)
Black Olives
Honeycrisp Apples
Strawberries
Feta
Bacon Pieces (I usually get the bag of real bacon pieces by Black Label or Hormel)
Croutons (you can remove this if you're avoiding carbs)
Wash your veggies and fruits first! Start with your spinach base, if you have a salad chopper use it, I just rip my spinach up slightly removing the stems. I always use shredded carrots, then I slice some celery. I then cut my apple up into bite size chunks, I prefer honeycrisp, but I am sure any type of apple would work here. Slice your strawberries, here you have to be careful not to overpower the salad with them, so use your strawberries sparingly. Top with some crumbled feta, bacon pieces, and croutons. I personally use ranch as the dressing but I am sure there are other fantastic options. Ideally you could use mason jars or Tupperware to meal prep your salad.
Enjoy! And let me know if you'd like more recipes (I have A LOT).
Taila Out.
