10-Day Salad Challenge

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

It has been great! I loved all the salads especially the vegan potato salad. At first I was a little weary since I love meat but it was so good and filling! I feel so light and have way more energy!

Always wonderful to find new healthy and delicious-looking recipes–and actually have the extra incentive to try them!

He different textures of the ingredients were amazing . I enjoyed making the different salad dressing & nuts . That walnut meat & cashew mixture has given me a new life with tacos

Each wee, my partner and I would do our grocery list and the same recipes kept coming up. This challenge was great to change up our meal plan while staying healthy. I really enjoyed the Facebook forum to hear about what other challengers used for alternatives. It allowed my partner and I to experience new tastes! The one thing I also really liked is that I find many times when you try these challenges or plant-based recipes they often are really spicy. I am not a fan of spicy. So I liked how the recipes were full of flavor without needing to be spicy. Two things that we got out of this challenge that I did not anticipate. This challenge was a great way conversation between my partner and I. We both like to cook; so trying new recipes allowed us to talk about what we liked and what we might have changed. I got to know my partner’s thoughts and tastes more and get to know him better. The second thing I did not anticipate was how easy it was to clean up. Many times after we cook we have piles of dishes. With these salads (and helped already having a vitamix) the cleanup was often times 1 to 2 items. We both had room in the kitchen to help bring the meal together which the prep and clean up saved us both time. And we both got to enjoy doing it together. Unlike most challengers we actually did our salads for dinner so we could enjoy our meals together. We both really liked having that light meal before winding down for bed. We both felt better the next morning. Overall – we loved the experience and would absolutely want to try the next one! This was our first time but this won’t be our last! Thank you so much for putting this together.

I love how this challenge gave the resources and recipes! It didn’t just say do this. It gave all those tasty recipes as well. It helped me to change up my boring everyday salad. I really enjoyed the healthy taco salad option. It had lots of flavor and colors to help keep me motivated

I’m feeling proud of the fact that I introduced more greens into my diet every day. I increased my miles walking every day. An accomplishment that I can be happy about. I couldn’t have done it without the challenge encouraging me. I have a long way to go to meet my weight loss goal but I am on my way!

Challenging, but helped that weather was getting warmer. Don’t think I could have done it in 20-30C with a windchill making it even colder.

I loved the recipes. They were easy to prepare and delicious. The ingredients were easy to find and quick to pull together. My family liked the recipes as well. It’s always good to get new healthy recipes to add to my weekly rotation.

10 new salad recipes for 10 days. And now that my fridge is full of fresh foods I am going to be eating the leftovers for another several days. Some of the recipes I’ll definitely utilize again and some I will tweak to see if we like enough to make them regular meals. Way to shake up our taco, wing, and burger rut!

I’m up for the challenge daily and prioritized my health daily by exercising and eating better daily. The recipes for foods and smoothies are awesome and will do my best to incorporate them into my daily journey. Thank you

All the plant-based dinner salad recipes were highly nutritive and nourishing, very filling, easy and quick to assemble at dinner time, and above all delicious & palatable to adults and kids alike 🙂 Thank you for the great effort! God Bless everyone!!

Great way to keep on track! Both eating and moving The shopping list and prep days were so very helpful to get your mind set

I enjoyed the 10-day salad challenge! It pushed me out of my comfort zone – I explored areas of my grocery store I never noticed before. My favorite recipe from the challenge was the Kale Caesar Salad!

I like how all the salads were quick and easy to make. It was nice to be able to put a salad together when I didn’t have time to cook a full meal.

I absolutely love this challenge and how it took the complexities out of eating a more plant based diet away. The recipes were delicious and not overwhelming and made plant forward eating delicious! Here’s to a more sustainable, health forward future!

I had so much fun expanding my salad repertoire. Such a great way to greet the spring and all the lettuce starting to pop up at the farmers market. Some of my favorites were the strawberry mixed greens, taco salad, arugula salad and the pasta salad. I’m going to add these to my regulars.

I love salads and eat them quite often. However, I have never wondered far from the usual four or five standard recipes. This 10 day salad challenge has been awesome!! I have so many new favourites now. The ingredients are minimal and affordable 💕 I was so pleasantly surprised at how well combinations of ingredients tasted. For example the fennel and arugula or black olives in potatoe salad! All of the salads and dressings were easy and colourful and made just the right amount 😋. I especially liked the strawberry dressing on our first day and the beautiful carrot crunchy salad!! I need to get the book! Thank you for sharing 🙂

I loved the variety as well as how organized the program was. From grocery lists, and tips to store salads and prep work. It gave me many new ideas for tasty delicious, healthy eating. I really appreciate how well it was done. Thank you so much!! Keep up the great work

I am so happy I decided to do this challenge. I have been wanting to eat better, exercise more and just feel better. This challenge really helped inspire not just myself, but my family to engage in better choices for our meals. We have been incorporating a smoothie every morning. We didn’t stay strictly vegan but made sure all of our meals were healthy and fresh choices. I personally really enjoy fresh vegetables and fruit, but I have never used these combinations. This challenge really opened my eyes to the amazing flavors you can achieve mixing all of these items together. The dressings were all very good. The combinations of the salads were just beautiful to look at as well as the flavors worked so well. No longer will I be eating the boring mixed greens with dressing. The only salad I didn’t care for was the taco salad. I believe that most people would love this salad. I’m just not a fan of Mexican spices. I will take the advice of the hosts of this challenge and give that salad another try by removing the cumin. Maybe I would then enjoy it. But I truly loved every other salad in this challenge. I have purchased the both the Simple Green Smoothie and Simple Green Meals. I look forward to living a better lifestyle.
