This month is the month. The time of the year when you should be obligated to explore the beauty of the spectrum of colors in your fresh produce. There’s still one week left of National Salad Month (or as some people call it, May), and if you were wondering how to make the most out of the little time left, we’re here to make it easier for you with these beautiful recipes you can not possibly miss out on.
Salads have always been the go-to healthy meal for those on a clean eating regime or those preparing to hop on that health movement train we’re all too aware of in the modern society.
…Or for those who just pretend they like salads but deep down, crave for a piece of that deliciously cheesy lasagne you saw a couple order as you walked past a an Italian restaurant after work last night.
….Or for those who just simply love the freshness of salads.
For whatever reason you’re eating salads, check these out, buddy.
