A filling salad that actually tastes good. Try my copycat recipe of "The Fave" Salad from Mandy's Gourmet Salads.
Ingredients
- 1 big handful chopped romaine
- 1 big handful arugula
- 1/2 cup chopped broccoli
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup canned corn, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 small or medium avocado, diced
- 2 Tbsp roasted sunflower seeds, salted or unsalted work
- 2 Tbsp shaved parmesan
- 1/4 cup salted pita chips, crushed
- 1/2 cup protein of choice, I use chopped rotisserie chicken
- 2-3 Tbsp Mandy's honey mustard vinaigrette, or use the recipe below
Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 Tbsp dijon mustard
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- If you're making your own dressing, add all ingredients for the honey mustard vinaigrette to a glass jar with a fitted lid. Close the jar, and shake well until your dressing is creamy and combined. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add all salad ingredients except the dressing.
- When you're ready to eat, pour your dressing over the salad. Toss until everything is well coated, adding more dressing as needed. Enjoy immediately!
