As a confirmed salad lover, I was so excited to see the recipes for this 10 day challenge. While I enjoyed each one, there were some that I’ll want to make and eat again and again. My absolute favorite was the Bright Berry Salad. It is just a beautiful salad with all the colorful berries and grapefruit. It’s the perfect end to a meal. The healthy taco salad was another favorite. Who would have believed that walnuts could be made to look and taste like taco meat? Such and explosion of flavors. The sweet and crunchy salad was so tasty and filling. I absolutely loved the dressing and used the leftovers on another salad. The healthy pasta salad was tasty and I’m already thinking of other combinations of veggies to use the next time I make it. I like that it was light and not all “goopy” with mayo. As always, Jen and staff made this challenge fun and were always there giving helpful tips and suggestions as well as positive and encouraging comments. The printed book with the recipes was high quality and made it easy to access the recipes for each day. I highly recommend this challenge. You don’t have to follow it perfectly to achieve results. Another thing that makes this challenge so enjoyable is reading the posts from participants and soaking up all the positive and supportive feedback.

I was looking for a way out of a winter salad rut and was happy to find new ideas that I could adapt with how I eat. I did not use many of the oil based dressings but I did take the raw ingredients to get the flavour combos where I could. I really appreciate the work that goes into creating recipes and running challenges and I look forward to following more from simple green smoothies in the future. Thanks so much 🙂 🥬🍅🥬

I am not a salad eater (hubby is) This was a great way to introduce more salads into my diet! We both got so much more into our diet! I now have several salads I will eat and give hubby different taste and texture from the normal everyday salad! This was a funny and easy endeavor to accomplish. I haven’t made todays yet but is ready to be made!! Looking forward to eating more salads….. I never thought I’d say that!

The 10-day Salad Challenge opened my eyes to more creative and healthy possibilities in making salads. The ingredients were readily available. The dressing recipes enhanced the flavor of the salads unlike store bottled dressings over powering and covering up the taste of the salad. The salads were easy to prepare and were tasty. It was a great way to transition into spring. My favorite salad recipe was the HEALTHY PASTA SALAD. It had a great Mediterranean vibe! The pasta was not the central ingredient but just enough for the rest of the ingredients to shine! Thank you so much. I hope you do this challenge seasonally!

4 only because I enjoy arugula but not as a base for a salad. I used Spring Mix instead. I never know what to do for dressings because I like to keep in simple and these are pretty simple for the most part! Will definitely keep these in mind as the weather continues to get warmer!

This challenge was the best I have ever tried. The salads were so different and the dressings were tasty and not high in calories. I love it and I will make these salads again for sure.

My family agreed to at least try the salads I made every night. I wrote down their comments, and made notes about what their favorites were. The two girls liked avocados in the salads. I liked/loved all the salads.

After 10 days, All I can say is YES to this new way of eating! I have lost weight and noticeable inches. Clothes fit better, look better. I gained energy and as a result sleep better than ever. Not waking up during the night is a major improvement, has a huge effect on my wellness and happiness. Not only did I benefiT from this challenge, so did my spouse. For us, these large salads were not only tasty, they were filling. For most days, we did include some additional proteins such as fish, chicken breast and lean beefy. The taco salad was my favorite. I love black beans and the walnut meat combo. It was so easy to make. The cashew cream recipe is a “keeper” too. My old Vitamix made preparation and clean up easy. I use it all the time for fruit and Organic Girl green smoothies. These new recipes were all great, saving every recipe. The challenge was a good reset. Now is time for a lifestyle food change, I’ve already come up with some of my own modifications for new healthy salads and smoothies. Thanks for the challenge. ❤️

This was a great challenge. I am all for exercising more and eating more healthfully. I especially enjoyed all the recipes you provided, since I am trying to get my 9 year old granddaughter to enjoy a more healthful diet!

When I initially signed up for the 10-Day Salad Challenge, I thought, “Cool, I can get some great salad recipes and try some new things.” Little did I know that this was a fully plant based, dairy free challenge. I LOVE dairy so this caught me a little off guard and I was hesitant. Boy was I wrong? The salads were very good, very filling (even as a meal!) and the dressings were amazing! I tried some new veggies, foods, meat and dairy substitutes and truly enjoyed the experience. Honestly, I am still not a kale or arugula fan, but I ate a salad at least once a day for 10 days straight! I also replaced one regular meal a day with a fully plant based option which I have never done before. I would definitely recommend this challenge to anyone who is even thinking it is is a “maybe”…GO FOR IT, you won’t regret it! Jen helps you make the most of the food options by teaching you how to really prepare the food. New dressings, meat and dairy substitutes, etc. She was right there every step along the way so we knew exactly what to do so we could get the right flavor/consistency/combination that would highlight the food. Thanks Jen!
