To me, this is the perfect salad to start out the new year.

I love a good salad, but I can get into a mixed green rut. Putting ranch dressing on everything and adding all the usuals. . .boiled egg, tomato, cucumber, carrot. . .yada yada yada.

But not today! I’ve loaded this salad up with hearty veggies that aren’t normal things that I buy, but are delightfully yummy change up to the old routine! I’ll be taking notes and adding these things to my grocery list from now on.

I hope you enjoy it. Let me know what interesting things you add to your salad to jazz up the ordinary!
