This is without doubt the easiest salad recipe – it’s also super healthy and delicious (I love the combination of ingredients) …and that is why it is my go-to salad.

I hope that you enjoy making my go-to salad as much as I do! xo
The ingredients below form the base for my go-to salad and sometimes I eat it simply just with those ingredients – but sometimes I like to spice it up (add more flavor, protein & healthy fats) with the optional ingredients that I’ve listed underneath the essential ingredients. Mix & match the ingredients and have fun creating your perfect “go-to” salad!
