Plenty of us have plans to eat healthier in the new year. And what says “healthy” more than a salad? Of course, we’re not talking about a sad bed of greens with some light dressing. Many of our favorite salad recipes featured on Well+Being and the Best Bites blog include ingredients that are sure to leave you feeling full, satisfied, and extremely healthy.
