2 Weeks of Healthy Salads for my Healthy Living Series. There’s nothing better than a fresh and flavorful salad with something for everyone. There are vegetarian, vegan, paleo, keto, low fat, low carb, and clean options.
2 WEEKS OF HEALTHY SALADS
Have you made New Year’s Resolutions? I can’t say that I have. I do live off having goals for myself, but it’s a weekly and monthly thing. There are a few changes I want to make. Did you know that by writing your goals, you’re more likely to reach them? I love a list so I write everything down! This is what I’ll be working on for the next few weeks. I always reevaluate how far I’ve come and where I have to be at the end of each month. In February, you may see adjustments to this.
- Run 100 miles per month.
- Work out more with weights.
- Drink more water. Drink fewer Diet sodas.
- Eat better. More natural, non-processed foods. Cut down on fat.
To help me with #4, I want to add more salads to my diet. I know everyone thinks ‘salads’ when they think dieting. Although, I’m actually doing it to get more vegetables in my diet. I really stink at eating vegetables. This hasn’t always been the case, but my husband and boys aren’t big fans of veggies. A lot of times, I find myself just leaving them off the menu because I know they won’t eat them. My plan is year is to get everyone in the family to eat more vegetables. But, don’t tell them that!

Thank you Kristin!
Rachel Cotterill says
I love your salads. So pretty 🙂 And I have very similar goals… annual resolutions per se don’t make much sense to me, because why wait until the end of the year to make changes if you want to be healthier today? But it does certainly help to have some goals.

I love salads, but I never make them at home because I can’t think up any great recipes. I am adding this post to my reading list & will be using this often! Thanks so much for posting and helping me on my mission to healthy living!!!
Paula says
Same here! I need inspiration with salads.
Kelly says
Your goals sound great Paula – I definitely need to drink more water too and maybe add running some day hehe. I am all about more veggies and salads though and this list looks awesome! Can’t wait to add some of these to our meal rotation – pinning and thanks for sharing 🙂
Paula says
I’m pretty basic on my salads so I hope this inspires me to think outside the box
Katie Clark says
It’s amazing how many different kinds of salads there are! Some of these are brand new ideas to me…Thanks for sharing! And way to go for wanting to kick diet soda…I think you’ll see a huge difference if you do!
Paula says
I plan to expand my salad repertoire of salads and I have SO GOT TO stop drinking diet sodas!
Karyn - Pint Sized Baker says
I am such a picky eater that some of these salads scare me. I prefer to add my spinach to my smoothie can call it a salad – HA!
Paula says
I can’t stand the thought of spinach in a drink, Karyn, I do like it raw on a salad though… or in spinach artichoke dip!
Nicole says
Those salads look pretty darn good to me! Let me know if you are able to kick that diet soda habit … I have been trying for years! Good Luck 🙂
Paula says
I have too Nicole. I stopped by times I was pregnant but not since.
Lindsay @ The Live-In Kitchen says

Becca from It's Yummi! says
Great post, Paula, and thanks for sharing a couple of my salad recipes, too!
My goals are very similar to yours, except that I can’t run a mile, much less 100. Maybe I’ll run 100 feet per month…like when I’m running away from carbs 😉
Paula says
lol, you are so funny, Becca! Well, I just started weightlifting with a friends, literally, just got back home and I’m DYING!!! I won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow!
