Paleo Salad Recipe

It’s easy to forget just how easy salads are! Throw everything into a bowl, add olive oil and vinegar (balsamic, apple cider, lemon juice, lime juice), and toss.

What makes a good salad? Fresh, ripe ingredients matter a lot when it comes to salads – there’s only a simple salad dressing covering up the fruits and vegetables in your salad, so if the leaves are wilted or the fruit sour, you’ll know it!

I like to add a variety of different things into my salads. I like some boiled eggs for the protein and fat (leftover meats are also good for this), I like some berries for their color and for their sweetness, and I like some leaves for their crunchiness and for their green color. Then I just throw in whatever is handy – tomatoes, cucumber, avocados, celery, carrots etc.

Here’s a pretty typical salad that I’ll make.
