10-Day Salad Challenge

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

As a distance runner I was a bit hesitant to try the challenge thinking there wouldn’t be enough there to fuel my body. Boy was I wrong it game me everything I needed and more! Not only that I didn’t feel as run down in the evening. This was definitely and game changer!

I enjoyed the new salad recipes and the motivation to keep moving each day of the challenge.

This is a great challenge. I found myself eating less as these salads are so filling. As healthy as they are they taste so good and I’m in love with most of the dressings. I will be making a lot of these salad in the future. I also fell in love with arugula during this challenge.vi look forward to day 10 the strawberry arugula salad. Shopping for the produce was also fun. I have lots of left overs so I can continue salads as to not throw away any of these good veggies.

I do love a good salad but I get stuck in my ‘go-to’ ruts. The information provide with this challenge opened a whole new world of salad possibilities for my spouse and I at a time when we were looking to add more veggies to our diet. I love love love the walnut meat substitute! Didn’t even know it existed. The recipes are easy to follow and modify if that is desired. I’m looking forward to coming up with some recipes of my own from this challenge. Thank you!!!

I loved how well this challenge was set up. The support from the Support group was great and I love seeing how other people made and served their salads. The recipes were easy to make and so much better than the salads that I normally just toss together right before dinner. I gained some great tools for planning ahead to ensure that my daily salads are exiting and won’t bore me into leaving them off the menu. I’ll keep these salad recipes in my favorite binder so I can keep them on rotation. My favorite salad was the sweet and crunchy salad. I had it for lunch then I made another to bring to a friend’s bbq on Sunday. It was a hit! Now I can up my salad game at home and at parties! Thanks to the creators of this challenge for setting up something so fun and helpful.

experienced foods I would not normal buy or pair together. Broadened by salad making from the basic iceberg lettuce to soooo much more

Great way to motivate me to incorporate more greens in my diet.

I joined this challenge not knowing how much I would get out of it, but hoping for more salad ideas. I had participated in a smoothie challenge before which was good so I signed up for the 10 day salad challenge. Wow! Both husband and I have been pleasantly surprised by every salad recipe. I also loved that they weren’t all “green” salads and the potato salad was one of my favorite, because I never would have made that one my own. All the dressings are delicious and even though neither of us are big on fruit in green salads, the mix was always good and the strawberry vinaigrette was amazing! If you aren’t sure about signing up, just try it! The challenge also had a Facebook support group that was amazing and very helpful if you had questions or could not find an ingredient. This was just what I needed to get out of my winter food rut.

I liked the challenge ok. Some of the items were hard for me to find. I also don’t like many foods so if I couldn’t find something or didn’t like what was on the recipe I substituted.

I love fruits and vegetables and salad in general but I lack creativity with food combining, This challenge helped me think out of the box and enjoy such interesting salads that I would not have dreamed up on my own! I really loved the walnut taco meat as an alternative to meat.

I love salads, and this challenge was a great opportunity to try new salads. And, my husband dislikes salads, low and behold…he really enjoyed almost all of them

I loved the variety of types of salads and dressings. Salad isn’t just always about lettuce. We found some new family favorites, the potato salad and the healthy pasta salad.

I loved all the salad recipes! My favorite was the strawberry basil dressing, so light and refreshing. It’s going to be a staple in my fridge for salad. Having the recipes will keep me on track to get back in favorite jeans!

I loved loved loved all the different salad ideas. I’m not creative and would never have thought to put some of these ingredients together or the various dressing we made. My favorite salad, hands down, has to be the taco salad. Nice way to kick off the spring!

I enjoyed this challenge. And it WAS challenging somedays because I had to modify some recipes. For example, I am not eating high shade veggies, so I used jicama instead of potatoes. The rest of the ingredients were awesome. My salad was very good, a little crunchy (I needed to cook the jicama a little longer), but I enjoyed it! I plan to make it again and it will be even better. I am also not eating sugar or flour. I substituted Chickpea pasta for the pasta in the Healthy Pasta Salad and eliminate maple syrup, honey, and all fruits except berries. My favorites were the Strawberry Mixed greens and Strawberry Arugula Salads. I loved the dressing for the Strawberry Mixed Green salad! I posted a picture of my salad on Facebook. I have some mobility issues, but I participated in two of SilverSneakers’ 15-minutes online walks each day. I never got the email about the fitness tracker. But, I was able to increase my steps during this challenge. I appreciate the opportunity to participate in this challenge. I learned and used some new ingredients (tarragon, fennel) and recipes. The challenge also motivated me to move more. THANKS SO VERY MUCH!

I loved the 10 day challenge, it was most certainly a challenge. But also so fun an engaging. Loved it!!

I so enjoyed the different salads and not being bored. My only concern was I was not able to provide my daily Miles. After three days I was blocked from the app and when I left my information I was never contacted.

I thought the 10 day salad challenge was a lot of fun. Love how you gave us a grocery list so we could buy what we needed to participate. This made it so easy to do all the salads in this challenge. Thanks again. It was so much fun to do this.

I enjoyed a lot this salad challenge, and my family did as well! I am definitely adding a lot of these recipes in my meal plans, and I will do this challenge again, because I feel better in my body! Its like it gave my stomach and my digestion a real good break from all the heavier winter meals. I am now ready for summertime! 😁
