Hello lovelies!
I apologize but this post will be short and sweet again. Frankly, being born in Ukraine and having lived there a huge chunk of my life, I am super upset and concerned about what has been happening there over the past few months. I am supposed to go there in April and now I am not sure as to what is going to happen given the circumstances. I am really sorry to get it out in here, but I just can’t grasp how this can be happening… My brain can’t stop spinning… I am overwhelmed…
So to take my mind off this entire situation, I will share this amazing infographic on how to make a healthier salad. Yes, salad! Why not?! Haha!
I love this infographic particularly because I find that I normally stick to making the same salad over and over again and using this image I can already see multiple possibilities!
To burn some of my anger off *yes, anger and frustration over inability to do anything to help my friends and family back in Ukraine*, I chose the following cardio workout at home.
What are your favorite healthy salad dressings? How do you change it up once in a while?

Very interesting! I very rarely ( if ever) add a Grain to my salad!
You should definitely try adding quinoa. It makes salad super filling and nutritious! ❤
Loved this!! I love salads and making interesting combos. My fav dressing is just balsamic vinegar, boring but always so good!
Not boring at all! I actually prefer to have a ‘simpler’ version of dressings in summer xoxo
I make my own dressings in little single serving amounts right before I eat because that allows me to just go for what I’m in the mood for that moment. I love acidity on a salad though so it always has some kind of vinegar+lemon juice involved!
Mmmmm! Lemon juice! I love acidity too, but have never though of it. Thank you darling xoxo
I like to make a healthier thousand island salad dressing by using sour cream instead of mayonnaise.
As a true Ukrainian, I LOOOOOVE sour cream! I just started liking you soooo much morreeee 😀 Just kidding! You’re pretty awesome as you are xoxo
So sorry you’re going through that right now- I cannot even imagine. I love balsamic vinegar on salad (doesn’t even need oil). But I love a homemade dressing that my boyfriend’s mom makes- balsamic vinegar, walnut oil, salt, pepper, garlic. So good!
I have NEVER tried walnut oil. It sounds interesting! I love adding garlic to the dressing too!!!
I can’t imagine how hard it must be for you. I really hope you’re doing okay.
Thanks for sharing, I really like the salad dressing ideas and I love loading up my salads. Never thought to try popcorn….but sounds interesting.
Thank you so much Ursula! You’re a sweetheart ❤
I can imagine your frustration over everything going on in Ukraine. Wishing all the best for your friends and family there!
Thank you so much for your kind wishes, Jason!!!! xoxo
