In my quest to be more consistent with a healthy lifestyle, I’m challenging myself this summer to eat more salad. The most difficult part for me is that I get bored with salad. So the challenge is to shake things up a bit, try some different combinations, and fall in love with colourful salad creations. Feel free to come along on the journey with me. I will be posting some of my favourites that I come up with each week over the summer. Within the challenge, I’m including ingredients that I know my kids enjoy so that they also get more fruits and veggies. So here we go with the Summer Salad Series: Spinach Nectarine…

What’s included…

spinach          1 large handful

nectarine       1 diced

avocado          1/2 diced

cucumber       1 mini diced

goat cheese   2 tbsp crumbled

walnuts           2 tbsp

balsamic

vinaigrette      1 tsp

Putting it together…

Pretty straight forward here. Wash all the produce and dry.  Dice the nectarine, avocado, cucumber and toss with spinach. Sprinkle goat cheese and walnuts on top, then drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette on top. Serves 1

The great thing about salad is that you often only need some ingredients to inspire and then the sky is the limit with the colourful creations you can make. Enjoy!
