MY 3 GO TO SALADS WITH THE BEST DRESSINGS

PNS05694If you watch what I eat on instagram stories, you know that it’s mostly bowls/salads. I love tossing everything in a bowl and throwing a yummy dressing on top.  The place I go to get all of my cooking and baking essentials is Better Body Foods.  If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I’m always talking about them.  But you need to get on board and try them yourself if you haven’t already.  No hidden ingredients, nothing artificial, you can actually read the real food on the ingredients section on the labels.  

They just came out with a new line called Plant Junkie dressings and they didn’t disappoint of course!  As you know, I eliminated dairy from my diet, besides the feta cheese and kerry gold grass fed butter, (truly can’t live without those) but I everything else I eliminated and thats including dressings with dairy products!  So I’m in love that they came out with a dressing line for vegans, or just anyone who loves it!  They’re…

  • 100% Expeller pressed Canola Oil and plant-based
  • Egg Free, soy free, Dairy Free and Non-GMO

3. TAI PEANUT SALAD

DIRECTIONS: Cook the quinoa according to package.  Slice up everything and toss in a bowl!  Its also yummy to add peanuts and chicken to this one!

 

I love bowls.  They’re my saviors!  So easy and so healthy to get all your veggies in, but you MUST have a good dressing.  SO these help out a ton.  If you want to get really serious on saving you some time, then meal prep this all on Sunday every week.  Wash and cut all the veggies and cook your choice of carbs, you can add white rice, brown rice, potato or quinoa in all of these.   Also you can add ground turkey, or chicken to any of them too.  But my big thing is prepping all of these ahead of time to just toss in a bowl and have this yummy dressing to make it 10x better. 

Go to Better Body Foods and check them out!  I use their Oat Milk EVERY SINGLE DAY! They’re carried in most stores and amazon!
