10-Day Salad Challenge

I’m always looking for nutritious and yummy new salad ideas! Thank for the challenge! Refrigerator not quite empty.

I love the new recipes ❤️ I am losing weight and I am motivated to continue 🏃🏼‍♀️☺️

Anything that brings people together creating fun and momentum for health is a win in my books. Loved this!

The salads and their dressings were amazing. The dressings were so easy to make even though I have never made homemade dressing before. Some of the greens I have never eaten some of the herbs and spices I have never seen but they all work wonderfully together. Thanks to Run the Edge for making this possible and known for us to join.

Thank you to the whole Simple Green Smoothies team as well as your sponsors: Vitamix OrganicGirl and Run The Year!!! The 10-salad challenge was an excellent way to incorporate more vegetables and fruits nuts and seeds into my meals and more movement with the fitness challenge too!! I really enjoy the motivation and encouragement from the private Support group. It’s great to see/read about other participants’ experiences and ideas. All the salads had fabulous flavour and colour combinations!! My favourite was the Healthy Pasta salad – delicious and hearty. I look forward to making the Vegan Potato and/or Kale Caesar salads for a family barbecue or picnic. Top surprise goes to the Crunchy Carrot salad for being so simple yet elegant with a tasty tang. And although I didn’t make the Bright Berry salad (I made berry smoothies instead) I certainly plan to have some yummy local fruit in the summer. Thanks again for a tasty 10 days!

There are so many things I loved about the salad challenge. For one I have never strictly followed a meal plan ever in my life and did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. I also really appreciate having new lighter salad dressings in my repertoire. Being from northern Michigan where winter lasts up to six weeks longer than other parts of Michigan the crispy green vegetables really boosted our moods. Even hubby got into it! Thank you for a really great challenge!

When I signed up for the challenge I expected all green salads all the time for 10 days. I was so wrong – I loved the variety of textures & flavors in each recipe. Even more I loved the variety in types of salads – after 2 days of mostly green stuff we pivoted to a potato salad then halfway through we enjoyed an amazing berry salad followed by a pasta salad. I also loved how every salad was not a full meal offering me the opportunity to find new ways to add more plants to my days without completely giving up dairy or the occasional meat or poultry dish.

Who would have thought making 10 salads for 10 days would be such a kick!? I like salads mostly but I don’t love making them. The Salad Challenge was super fun and my husband and ate and loved all of the healthy nutritious beautiful tasty and creative salads. It was great receiving all the encouragement good tips and seeing the other salad creations. Who would have thought that I would eat and enjoy so may things I am not a huge fan of but put together with other ingredients that balance all the flavors was a wonderful surprise! I loved this challenge! At least 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!

Each salad was amazing than I expected. Actually, I was not a Salad Person. I’ve never made dressings on my Vitamix. But, the strawberry dressing on the first day was an eye-opener to me! Also I’ll add cashew-cream, walnuts meat to my favorites. My husband were also happy. So, favorite recipe is Taco Meat Salad. Surprisingly, after just a few days of eating, they promoted regular bowel movements. Pleasantly surprised! Again, so happy with this challenge! Thank you for inviting me this challenge.

At first I wasn’t sure about some of the ingredients but as the challenge progressed and seeing others post their great reviews and support was an inspiration to try new ingredients! Plus I got in 10 days of fitness – 23 miles plus my gym workouts! I did all 10 days of salads and my favs were the taco and Caesar salads. I just got my copy of Simple Green Smoothies and excited to do my own 10 day smoothie challenge! Thank you!

Absolutely love making my own salad dressings but wouldn’t be as successful without SGS! Everyday was a new delicious salad experience! I have my favorites (the crunchy carrot salad) but they were all a wonderful medley of goodness. Thanks SGS!

It was so fun and informative. I loved the product recommendations and recipes n

Loved this challenge, all different salads, could be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Easy to make and all taste GREAT !!! This challenge was nice and easy and fun to make and enjoy. Thanks for the adventure.

Was not expecting to get into the salads like I did, after a convention will have to detox with some of these delicious recipes:)

Thanks to the 10-day salad challenge I’ve been eating more fresh veggies than ever before! I don’t think I can ever go back to the way I was before. I look forward to my salad every day! It was a little challenging keeping up with the variety every single day so I slowed it down and made extra salads each time so I could have them for lunch the next day (or two!). My favourite dressings were the simple vinaigrette and the tahini one (oh man the flavour is so umami, it makes my tastebuds so happy!!) So glad I took a chance and joined. I also enjoyed tracking my “miles” each day. I thought a mile would be hard but it turns out I usually walk 3 over the course of my day already! So pushing myself to walking 4, then 5 is a very realistic goal that I never though possible before this challenge. Thank you so much for making this accessible for everyone and for making such a lasting difference in me and my family’s life!

This is a wonderful 10-day challenge. I definitely appreciated the 5-day split in the shopping list so that the produce would still be lovely and fresh for days 6-10. The variety in flavors and textures throughout inspired me to stick with it. I’ve tried things I’ve never tried before, flavor combos I would never have thought of, and found I enjoyed salads much more than I thought. The highlight of my day was checking in to the challenge group and seeing what everyone posted. Another great motivator to keep me on track through this fun challenge. (Of course, the chance at a prize is also wonderful.) Thank you so much for putting these on!

What a great challenge this has been! My family and I have loved exploring some new salads and revisiting some old. I needed a push to remind me of how easy it really is to incorporate plants in so many great ways! Thanks for the challenge!!

This was a great experience. So many salads, so much fun creating them. Wonderful combinations that I wouldn’t have thought of putting together. This was so motivating and creative, thank you for getting me started in the right direction.

This was an amazing and challenging,but easy, guided opportunity that really inspired my future inclusion of salads in forms other than your basic lettuce and tomato salad. Which don’t get me wrong, that is great too! But using the cashew cream base to make mark my salads healthier and packed with flavor was BRILLIANT! Thanks so much!

This challenge was just the beginning for my family and I. LOTS of information and LOTS of growth to continue being the best that I can be! Can’t wait to continue this challenge.
