Can you believe spring is already here?<\/p>\n

It’s the perfect time to start enjoying fresh, juicy dishes like salads, fruits, smoothies, and even falafels (stay tuned for a delicious recipe coming up!)<\/p>\n

When it comes to salads, I know they can be hit or miss. Some are amazing and others are just plain boring. But the thing is, salads have so many possibilities when it comes to ingredients, flavors, dressings, seasons, and add-ins. So why do we often get stuck in a rut and make the same plain salad over and over again?<\/p>\n

That’s why I always make sure to write down any new salad ideas that come to mind. It can be anything from new toppings, add-ins, veggies, or even new ways to prepare veggies. I also love experimenting with different dressings and flavor combinations.<\/p>\n

Take this recipe for example. I tasted a salad at a spring party last year that was so delicious, I immediately wrote down my thoughts on how to recreate it. And I finally got around to doing it yesterday and let me tell you, it was even better than I remembered!<\/p>\n

When it comes to making the perfect salad, I have a few key criteria. First, include seasonal and tasty vegetables. Second, add roasted nuts or seeds, or even roasted veggies like beets or sweet potatoes. Third, use a dressing that is packed with flavor to complement the veggies and other ingredients. Fourth, include a sweet element like sliced apples or dried fruit, and fifth, a salty element like cheese, crispy bacon, or salt almonds.<\/p>\n

So, remember to think about the five flavors (salt, sweet, bitter, sour, and umami) and pair different textures like crispy, roasted, creamy, and even chewy.<\/p>\n

Happy salad making, and enjoy the lovely spring weather!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
