Italian Inspired Chop Salad

March 9, 2017

I came up with this idea while roaming the amazing aisles at the Italian Center Shop. Everything in that store is positively amazing- from the incredible deli to the (cheap!) and great quality produce, to the aisles of unique European products. I swear, in anther life, I was Italian!

As many of you know, I’m on a mission to eat more SALAD in 2017. In order to do that, I want to create salad that is delicious, interesting AND Healthy. So why not combine several of my favorite Italian ingredients into a salad? Plus, I may have said this before, but this DRESSING is one of my all time best creations. Its a masterpiece. Even the most salad-hating individuals in your life will be into it! Promise!

Ingredients:

FullSizeRender (2) copy 2

For Salad:

– 1 Container Organic Arugula

– 1 Cup Basil, washed + Chopped

-1 Pint Cherry Tomatoes

-1/2 Cup chopped Salami ( I used 1/4 cup peppered and 1/2 cup parmesano) I know Salami and cured meats are not exactly what most would deem “healthy”, but you know what?  Life is all about balance!

-2/3 Cup Fresh mozzarella pearls (can also buy cubed!)

-1 cup cucumber, washed + sliced

For Dressing:

– Fresh Lemon Juice from 1 full lemon

-2 tbsp Dijon Mustard

-3 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar

-1 tsp. dried Oregano

-1 tsp Truvia (or sugar if you prefer)

-2 cloves garlic, pressed

-1/3 cup Olive Oil

-Pepper ( I figure there’s enough salt in the salami!)

Method:

1. Combine salad ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix well

2. In a smaller bowl whisk together dressing ingredients

3. Drizzle dressing over  vegetable/meat/ cheese mixture

4. Serve with grilled chicken or fish if desired! *I added leftover chicken to mine for lunch and it was perfect!*

Fresh Air- the real MVP of the last ten months! ✨🤍

When the first lockdown began in March, I was in a complete panic and my anxiety was through the roof. Getting outside every day has not only provided all of us with a sense of calm, but also helped maintain a routine (which eases anxiety as well!)

So freakin’ grateful that the weather has been mild through out this most recent lockdown. 🙌

Do you get outdoors every day? What are your favorite winter activities?

See ya NEVER, 2020!! We won’t wax poetic about See ya NEVER, 2020!! 

We won’t wax poetic about all we learned from you (a lot) how we survived (some days, just barely) and all we’ve overcome (more than we ever imagined). Let’s not mince words, 2020, you were the freaking WORST! 

Cheers to all of you! 🥂 We made it through, in whatever capacity. We are stronger, better allies + advocates and most of all, we are resilient! 

Here’s to a brighter, happier future! The bar is LOW, 2021.. don’t mess this up! ✨🤍

Running towards 2021 like... In all seriousness, Running towards 2021 like... 

In all seriousness, I did a little math the other day and was shocked to learn that I’ve logged more kilometers in 2020 than in the previous two years combined! 🤯

With the new year upon us, I am committed, more than ever, to setting achievable goals opposed to resolutions!  My goal for 2021 is to channel all those hours on the pavement into something more! 

That’s why I’ve signed up for @runningroom Virtual Training program starting January 4th. There may not be any in person races for a while yet, but I’ve come so far in my running and I don’t want to lose momentum! I am excited to learn weekly from running experts on a variety of running related topics, and also to have that group support and coaching dynamic, even if it is online! 

For more Info on all the Virtual programs, head to the runningroom.com ! 🏃‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️

What are some of your goals for 2021?
