We’ve shaken things up for lunches with this fun recipe. Using protein-packed quinoa, this vegan friendly salad is jazzed up with a citrusy dressing and plenty of texture.

This French Bistro-style salad is made with organic spring greens and topped with savory bits of bacon, a tangy shallot vinaigrette dressing, and luxurious poached eggs. This delicious salad makes a wonderful meal for brunch, lunch, or even a simple dinner.

While traditionally made with basil, pesto can be made with any leafy green! To infuse a bit of Spanish flair, we’ve replaced the basil with earthy chard and subbed raw pumpkin seeds for pine nuts. This makes for a darker and creamer pesto that balances out the spicy zip of chorizo in this fast and easy pasta salad.

This flavorful salad comes together quickly and makes a hearty, yet healthy, warm winter salad.

Sweet pears, crunchy pecans, and creamy goat cheese combine to create a delicious fall salad that comes together quickly and is sure to please!

This shrimp salad makes for a light and refreshing summer dinner that will have your taste buds singing! Serve with a fresh vegetable plate filled with summer’s best harvest for a complete meal that is also keto friendly.

I made this recipe entirely from produce and products I found at Natural Grocers! In case you didn’t know, right now watermelon, carrots, celery, cucumber, garlic, radishes and fresh herbs are all in season! That means its time to load up on any and all produce to make huge fruit and veggie salads! Then all you need is a little dressing to go on top. This time around, I created a Thai-style dressing to go on top, since I’ve been craving Asian flavors lately!
