Hello friends and welcome to a post about 2 fabulous, SUPER FAST and tremendously healthy lunch ideas. Both of these simple salads can be put together in minutes, keep well for several days in the fridge and taste absolutely fabulous. We have been eating clean at my house for many months now and these salads have turned into staples. I usually make several at a time and store them in single serving containers for easy access through the week. However, they taste so good you could make one large batch and take it to a gathering as well. Very, very tasty is what I am trying to communicate to you here. 🙂

Enjoy! Hope your chilly January is flying by with the simplicity that comes after the holidays! Feels good to keep things simple, doesn’t it?

I can’t say enough great things about this Apple Caprese Salad. The apple gives it a fabulous crunch and amazing sweetness to balance out the balsamic vinegar. Also…it’s sure pretty to look at! Something this dismal January needs, right? Bright colors and beautiful taste.

This Chic Pea and Tomato Greek Salad is nice and filling, has a great crunch and is so flavorful you won’t believe it. I like to sprinkle…

…this awesome Greek Seasoning all over the top. You can find it at pretty much every grocery store on the seasoning aisle. It’s fantastic. In the past I’ve also used it on Avocado Toast. Click HERE for a few great Avocado Toast ideas.
