Salad Building 101

Just a reminder to let you know virtually ANY meal plan can be built into a healthy salad full of flavor! Below you will find the building blocks for your salads. You can see how your meal plan fits and hopefully this can give you some insight on what you would like to change a future meal plan to. This will give you versatility and more importantly the flexibility to change it up and have salads a couple times a week or as desired.
