This morning, I hopped out of bed for a 5 mile run around Southie. It was a crisp, cool morning and was absolutely perfect for a run!
After my run, I whipped up a huge smoothie to take with me to work.
Then, ate my leftover Honey Bean Salad for lunch along with a yogurt with fresh raspberries.
Tonight, I made a delicious CSA salad for dinner!
It may be one of my best thus far! I love salads, but boy can they get boring. It is important (especially for me – I get bored easily!) to change up your ingredients so that you body gets a variety of nutrients, but also so that you keep it interesting.
Tonight’s start ingredient?
BEETS!
I started with a base of green leaf lettuce dressed in my new favorite (homemade) honey balsamic dressing and added the following:
- slightly steamed CSA beet greens, washed and chopped
- chopped CSA carrots
- spiralized CSA beets
- toasted pecans
- shredded goat gouda
Holy Moly! This was good!
I washed, dried and chopped these beet greens before steaming them for a few minutes.
They mixed well with the green leaf lettuce and gave it a little more flavor. The flavors in this salad really worked well together – yum!
Served along with some cheese tortellini and tomato sauce.
Mmmm….
