Super Salad

I have always felt that salads that other people make, whether it's restaurants or friends/family, always taste better. I hate the prep and I can never get the salad dressing right. Until now. You guys, this salad has EVERYTHING in it: tons of veggies, protein, fiber, good fats and overall deliciousness. My husband raved about it and so I've been making it a lot. And now, I have it prepped and ready to go at any moment. This salad is a meal all by itself and I've been eating it three or four days a week..it's that good and totally versatile. I'm also in love with the dressing I use-it takes like 30 seconds to make.

Here's what I put in it:

• Mixed greens and spinach (chopped)
• Chopped, roasted sweet potatoes
• Cauliflower rice
• Zucchini
• Chickpeas (roasted are amazing but rinsed from the can work just as well)
• Walnuts
• Carrots
• Roasted turkey breast
• Red onion
• Avocado
• Snap peas
• Dried unsweetened cherries if I'm feeling crazy (I have found these at Trader Joe’s)

What I top it with (dressing recipe):
(don't use it all...I use a table spoon or two and save the rest in the fridge in a mason jar)

• 1/4 cup avocado or olive oil
• 1/8 cup balsamic vinegar (I like the white balsamic for this one but normal would be fine too)
• Salt to taste (I give it a couple shakes)
• Pepper (I like a bunch of grinds of fresh)
• 1/4 tsp ground mustard
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• honey is optional if you want a bit o' sweetness...especially if you are using olive oil as the base
