Healthy Winter Salad Recipes You Will Enjoy!

Surprise Your Family with Irresistible Winter Salad Recipes

When we talk about healthy and fresh meals, I always have to include a salad in the list. As foodies, we should not just enjoy and share delicious foods. We need to bring in healthy and nourishing dishes as well, especially with kids.

I have a 7-year-old at home and I always try to encourage him to eat vegetables and fruits as much as possible. Salad recipes help me with this. Especially winter salad recipes.

Salads made it easy for me to let people know that healthy foods need not be boring and bland. And keeping a healthy lifestyle has never been easier and fun.

I super love salad! For me, any salad will do. But a salad with slices of fruits, some greens, and a simple and tasty lemon dressing tops my list. How about yours?

I hope you also love salad as much as I do! Salad is a healthy dish rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Plus it’s a very easy and quick meal anyone can prepare.

If you’re not into veggies, you can definitely relish a salad with mixed fruits and vegetables. You can also add slices of meat and some grains to make it more filling and complete. Now, I am so stoked to share with you all of my favorite winter salad recipes!

1. Kale Salad with Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette

If you’re thinking pure kale salad only works with a simple dressing, then you’re wrong! Make kale salad chock full of pecans, pomegranate seeds, and quinoa. Then make it special with avocado and goat cheese.

Don’t forget to dress it with a zesty Meyer lemon vinaigrette.

2. Tomatoes, Chickpea and Spinach Salad
