My Signature Weight-loss Salad Recipe

MY SIGNATURE WEIGHT-LOSS SALAD

This is my go-to signature weight-loss salad recipe

For years (seriously – years!), I have been eating this salad. When I was trying to lose weight (I’ve lost 40 Lbs), this salad was my everyday go-to lunch. At one point, I think I ate it everyday for lunch, for a year – Lol!

I even posted about my love for this salad a few years back when I started this blog (thank goodness the photography on the blog has improved since then), but today I wanted to give this old favorite of mine another shout out – cause seriously, it’s quite awesome!

This recipe is 100% gluten, dairy and sugar-free. It’s also full of good protein, healthy fats and good carbs too.

I love this salad so much, because it’s such well balanced meal that keeps me feeling full for hours with sustained energy. I also love the flavor combination of avocado, red bell pepper, tomatoes, cucumber and eggs – it’s refreshing and delicious!

I hope that you love it as much as I do!
