Warm Winter Salad
Last updated: February 2022
It’s easy during cold winter months to turn to comfort food, but often, comfort food equates to unhealthy options.
Salads to me are a summer food so to resolve that problem I took some of my favorite vegetables and created something that is both satisfying and healthy.
This is something you can top with your favorite protein.
