Healthy Salad Recipes

These Healthy Salad Recipes are a great way to add some nutrition and flavor to your diet, especially with some homemade salad dressings.

Not all salads are created equal. High-carb, processed ingredients and dressings can really wreck what is supposed to be a healthy meal. Some salad dressings on the market contain even more processed sugar than chocolate syrup! 

However, if you use whole ingredients and make your own dressing, salads can be a great addition to your clean eating diet.
