Loaded Power Salad

Jump to Recipe

After a bit of an indulgent weekend, I think we can all agree that an epic loaded power salad with tons of fresh produce is the best way to start the week!

In my world, life is really all about balance!! The healthy with the indulgent. The super active days with the lazy days. The yoga clothes with the occasional heels and red lip. It all needs to balance each other out. So after a particularly indulgent few days up in Napa Valley (hello wine, cheese, pizza, carbs, more carbs and cocktails), my body is craving some fresh produce! This power salad is my answer to those weekends. It’s loaded with fresh market lettuce, tons of colorful vegetables, my favorite basil vinaigrette and a bit of feta to give it a salty kick! {because we can’t just go cold turkey when it comes to cheese!}

I’ll be noshing on this all week long so that by the time next weekend rolls around, I won’t feel quite so guilty when I hit the town for a decadent meal or happy hour!
