It has been great fun! Hubby has thoroughly being along for the ride and has enjoyed trying to taste what ingredients are in the salads! Thanks Jen and the recipe developers for yet once again stretching me out of my sometimes boring “comfort zone”! I have thoroughly enjoyed most of the salads – arugula is still not my favourite ingredient but I am “warming” to it! I have loved challenging my conventional taste buds and trying ingredients together that I would not ordinarily pair together! Looking forward to the spring cleanse!

I did not realize how invested I was going to get in this challenge and did not realize how mundane my salads have been. I tried new things like fennel and arugula. I have new go to salads for picnics and boring meals that I think everyone will love. Even as I am ending this journey I’m already planning my salads for next week. It is hard to pick a favorite recipe but I am going with the carrot salad. I think this will be a staple for my meals when I need a little crunch and sweet. I even used it as a filler for a sandwich to give my lunch a little pizazz. Thanks for the challenge.

What a gift to not have to think about what fruit/veg serving to make for the day! This salad challenge was fantastic for its variety and for its surprises. Little details like the pepitas in the Caesar salad or orange juice instead of lemon juice in the fruit salad really elevated each salad in this challenge. Each recipe was simple and easy to do with ingredients I already had in my pantry and fridge. It would be easy to sub in/out ingredients to suit your tastes if needed but as-is these recipes rawked! With a great mix of familiar tastes and newer flavour profiles this salad challenge switched it up daily and always had me eagerly anticipating the next day’s recipe. If you’re bored of your salad or veg rotation this challenge is perfect for you as it will keep your taste buds on their toes and happy happy happy!

The 10-day salad challenge offered so many creative ways to dress up vegetables in ways I’ve not used before! Loved the dressings and the suggestions from the group. Thanks SGS!!

I really enjoyed this challenge. I’m typically not a salad person because they seem so boring. This was a fun mix of lots of different kinds. Some I liked more than others but all were good. I’ll make them again. I even lost 2 lbs who knows if it was the salads but I’m thinking so! Since I’m not very creative on my own it was awesome to have pictures and instructions. Thanks!!

I had a fabulous adventure exploring the unknown Amazon of the salad world! A salad made of carrots or an amazing blend of berries was truly a first for me! There were so many new ingredients new flavors new textures and new combinations that really opened my cooking expertise. I’m sincerely grateful for the new knowledge and friends I’ve met while on this 10-Day journey! Thank you so much!

I loved to variety of salads chosen for the 10 day challenge. My favorite was the Kale Caesar with Pasta Salad and Mixed Green coming in behind that. It was an adventure getting creative with all the salads.

I am NOT a salad fan. But I wanted to give this challenge a try and I’m shocked that I liked almost all salads! Seriously the SGS team did a great job with the recipes and support in the group.

This 10 Day Salad challenge and Run/Walk challenge has been a great jumpstart into spring. My husband and I loved the various salads. Gotta love the spring veggies they’re Rawkin’! We were most amazed by the versatility of the cashew cream. Love! Love! Love! Looking forward to springing into the 21 day cleanse coming up in April! These challenges all truly help us focus and commit to our plant based eating…love being a part of this amazing community!!

I fell back in love with salads! I’m not sure I was ever really in love with them, but this challenge made me realize how easy and filling they can be. And the variety! I really enjoyed each salad, especially the Lemon Arugula Salad and the Starwberry Mixed Greens. I also really liked keeping myself accountable for salads and getting at least a mile in every day. The only thing I wished I got more of was emails. I got an email about every other day, but would have appreciated daily emails, even if they were short.

I absolutely loved this challenge! The 2 serving size portion was perfect, the dressings all came together quickly. The fact that it’s easily adaptable to flavors we enjoy, and what we have on hand, is great and made it easy to accomplish. One of my favorite things about SGS has always been their listing of substitutions. Thanks for hosting this delicious challenge, the Taco Salad was my winner, Kale Caesar pretty close behind, and I look forward to making these recipes for a long time!

I am almost 80 years old and love the salad challenge. Love the variety and being able to adjust in ways that can make the family happy. I own two Vita Mixers and use them almost every day, depending on what I am making and what I want to try. It is always fun to get family to eat things they say they would never eat (until they find out they just ate it)! That includes me (even though I just made it.) “Never say never!”

I am going to be honest, I was a little nervous about this challenge! I do like fruit and vegetables, but have never taken a change on vegetarian/vegan items. We went all the way in on these 10 days! Thank you so much, I have found so many new things I really like over this program.

I love this challenge! I love how you had the different options (not all of the salads would work with my crew) and the shopping lists!

I have really enjoyed putting ingredients together in a new way. Even having to make some modifications due to allergies, I was able to enjoy a different salad for each of the last 10 days. I look forward to continuing to expand my palate.

I loved most of the recipes. I had to replace some of the soy options, but was able to do so.

Is there anything I could do to make it better?
This is optional— yet super powerful for others to see who’s gone before them.
