Bright Winter Salads

January 4, 2013 by FaveHealthyRecipes 4 Comments

If I get offered one more leftover Christmas cookie, I think I might die. I am completely overstuffed, over-sugared, and just plain over desserts. My body officially hates me and I’m ready to start being nice to her again.

Nicely enough, I have a plethora of healthy food recipes to try and choose from. They’re not only healthy, but they’re easy weeknight meals – my fave. So I get to eat healthy and I don’t have to (really) cook. Win, win. Take a look at what some bloggers are making in the realm of winter salads.

I am definitely diving into some of these this weekend. Kudos to the Kitchen Parade for coming up with the Red Quinoa Salad (above left), Flourishing Foodie for the Strawberry Avocado Salad (above right), Authentic Suburban Gourmet for the Avocado and Corn Salad (bottom left), and Fine Cooking for the Eggplant and Feta Salad (bottom right).

But of course, serving a bright winter salad in my home might result in more than discouraged looks my way. You know, the “where’s the meat?” face. But, eating light is on the agenda and it’s not going anywhere. Join in the January revolution against junk food!

Would any of these dishes pass for meals in your house?

    Thanks so much for these delicious-looking salad recipes!
    I’m definitely going to try out the Grilled Eggplant salad. I think I might try substituting water mozzarella for feta cheese.
    This just goes to show that you can make a flavorful, colorful dish, even without meat.

    These all look amazing! I’m the only person in my family who likes eggplant, and it’s one of my favorite foods, so I’m always looking for new ways to cook it so that I can convert everybody else.

    I have the same problem of family members refusing to consider salad a meal unto itself, so I usually compromise by throwing in a little extra protein–walnuts would go great with the Strawberry-Avocado Salad, for example. Or serve the Red Quinoa Salad with the quinoa still warm, and add some baby spinach to make the whole think look and feel a bit heartier. You’d be surprised how easy it is to trick your loved ones. (For a good cause, obviously.)

    I’m always making salads but am getting tired of the same ingredients, so I’m excited to try new combos with old favorites, like strawberry with avocado, or introducing a grain like the quinoa! But also I have found even with very simple, everyday salads, if your dressing is good then the salad is good too! I always like to use balsamic vinegar, olive oil, pepper, and fresh garlic and then the secret is to throw in a little honey! Definitely recommend for all the family members skeptical of salads!
