This summer my husband and I often put the kids to bed and enjoyed a light refreshing salad for dinner (paired with wine, of course). This may sound totally boring and unsatisfying to some of you (ONLY salad for dinner?!), but trust me, the salads that we make are jam-packed full of fresh ingredients like seasonal veggies and fruits, herbs, nuts, meat or fish, and yummy cheeses. They are meal-worthy salads, which are very satisfying and tasty. "Meal" salads are a great way to cut back on refined/processed carbohydrates and enjoy more veggies, which over time, will inevitably lead to healthy weight loss. We try to have a "meal salad" once a week or so.
Here is one of our delicious salads (it's also a great salad to make for guests to go along with a meal):
