Today I’m sharing my favorite lunch. It’s quick. It’s easy. It’s filling. It’s portable. I’m trying to see how many sentences I can start with the word it’s. And it’s healthy. It’s my super-lunch and I eat it several times a week.
Let’s get real. I eat it just about every day in the spring and summer. I never, ever tire of the crunchiness, the sweetness, the tartness, the goodness. Yum! It’s my everyday salad and it’s almost embarrassingly easy – almost!
My Everyday Salad
Author: Alli Smith
Ingredients
- 2-3 cups organic spring mix (baby greens & radicchio)
- 1 red delicious apple, cored and chopped
- 1 handful (1/4 cup) of voodoo pecans (find my recipe here)
- 2 T Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame Lite Anything Dressing
- 1-2 T cranberries (optional, if I have them on hand)
Instructions
- Place the spring mix baby greens on a plate. Top with apples, pecans and cranberries. Drizzle the dressing over the top. Of course, you could add other things but I love it just the way it is. To me, it's the perfect lunch.
Sometimes, just to mix things up, I use a Bosc pear instead of an apple and walnuts or almonds instead of the Voodoo Pecans. The dressing is always the same. I heart this salad. And my heart hearts me! 🙂
This salad can also be stuffed into a pita for a portable lunch.

Looks pretty good. I’ve recently started adding beets, cranberries, and sharp cheddar cheese on my spinach salad that I use top with turkey bacon and eggs. I top it with honey mustard. Sounds a little crazy, but very good. Visiting from SITS.
