Fit Food: Quick and Easy Summer Salad
Hello, lovely readers! Just popping in with a super quick and easy summer salad recipe. It’s been a while since I posted a recipe on the blog, so I thought it was time for me to step up my recipe game.
Since I’m currently training for my toughest races of the year, I have been trying to cut back on calories, increase my running mileage, and just be more health conscious, generally speaking. I really wanted to focus on losing weight and getting stronger this summer, and I’m finally at a place where I can say that I am actually moving in the right direction.
Cooking meals makes me instantly so much healthier. I don’t really know how to cook the bad stuff, but I sure know how to choose it off of a menu! So, when I drag my tired butt to the grocery store, and nearly run over slow people in the store, or almost get run over whilst walking through the parking lot, I tell myself that it will all be worth it in the end.
All of this is to say that I had a pretty short window to go grocery shopping recently, but I managed to pick up some fresh ingredients for a delicious salad. This recipe has just a few ingredients, and you should be able to make it in about five minutes or less.
