10-Day Salad Challenge

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

I have been eating the same old salads and healthy meals for as long as I can remember. This challenge gave me some new recipes to broaden my horizons on some new healthy meals to try. My husband is NOT a healthy eater especially when it comes to vegetables so he got excited thinking I was trying something fun he could eat but was sadly mistaken but I was very much so the opposite! Mixing it up felt like I was eating a whole new diet!

I loved this challenge because it got me back on track with healthy eating. The recipes were easy to follow and each one left lots of good ingredients to use again. Eat salad was different and there was a good variety within the 10 days. My favorite salad was the potato salad, it was a clean and fresh. I usually don’t like potato salad because of all the mayonnaise. This is one recipe I will pass along to others. Now the real work starts, continuing eating healthy.

I am so happy, as of Sunday I have lost 3.5# I am tickled pink. I ate 2 salads a day. I will continue doing this for a few weeks. Hope to keep losing! I loved the variety. Some of the salads and dressing are in my new go to list.

I joined because I wanted to get more greens daily. This turned out to be fun and delicious! The dressing are so good!! So good! Hubs enjoyed as these were our lunches. Salads are chewy but I got used to eating slower as well. It was 10 days of chewy goodness!

I really appreciate and enjoyed the challenge. It definitely gave me a jump start to my health and wellness journey.

I didn’t enjoy all of the salads that much. I really enjoyed that the challenge pushed me to try some new recipes. I will be making some of them again. I don’t have a favorite yet.

I really enjoyed making new salads and the dressings that went with them. The dressings made these salads taste oh so amazing and enjoyable. I liked having a variety of salads to make, as well as condiments to accompany them. The carrot salad was excellent and so was the bright berry salad. All the salads were excellent, although, I did need to leave off some ingredients. For instance, I can’t have walnuts. Also, cannellini beans were out for me. I did not bother with the kale or many nuts. I am unable to do nuts and kale at this time. However, since one can make their own modifications, this was versatile enough to do so and omit items that did not work for the individual. I really would like to do the smoothie challenge. Thank you so much for making this available. It was very timely for me. Also, bonus that these were simple to prepare. And that says a lot for me, because I usually do not have time to make something just for myself. 🙂

My husband and I really enjoyed the 10-day Challenge! It was fun to just shop, chop, and eat. No pouring through recipes or making grocery lists, that was dreamy! It was fun having new flavors everyday. We will definitely circle back to most of the recipes again.

I was definitely inspired by the salad recipes. And I incorporated some ideas into my nightly menu. However I was too tired to follow full recipes or to post pictures online. Thank You for the inspiration!

One of my goals for for spring was to get more greens in my diet. This challenge popped up at the perfect time. I forgot how much I love veggies–thank you!

I really liked this challenge. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like some of the salads, but they came together beautifully. I will definitely make some of the salads again and experiment with mixing and matching the salads and dressings. It was a great way to jump start back into healthy eating.

love the challenge, recipes & inspiration!!!

Loved it, shared it, upgraded my equipment. Maybe there’s an opportunity to work with local partners for ingredients. Understand that it seems like a pain in the ass to go local – but perhaps piggie back on local news revival initiatives? Here in Cambridge MA, would love if you partnered w/ ie Clover to source challenge ingredients locally and sustainably. Or Farmers Markets – ie collaborate so I can swing by and get what I need assembled and ready to go for a challenge from the local indie participants.

The challenge was an experience in changing habits with excellent resources for healthy eating. Also after 10 days, I will be making all my salad dressings at home. The shopping lists made it easy prepare for the week ahead. Thanks for your fresh voice and recipes.

Loved the help with ideas for salads, dresssings and easy ways to make it happen

The program was a good way to learn to eat different veggies. I would not thought of pairing fruit with arugula. It was fun to make your own dressings and I will continue to make my own. Cashews are now a great way to make cream based recipes.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed this challenge. Wonderful ideas to live a healthier lifestyle with ideas for use greens in everyday meals and to be more active in daily routines! Will definitely continue to incorporate in my quest for a greener and fit life for myself and my family!
