8 Favorite Winter Salads
Growing up in Northeast Ohio in frigid temperatures, I had a knack for always eating heavy meals with comforting carbs that would keep me extra warm under my thermal underwear! But, since becoming 35-years-old, I can't really divulge into all the carbohydrates like I used to as a kid and still wear my "skinny" jeans from last summer! Ha!
So, I thought it would be so fun to share some of my favorite winter salad recipes with you that use seasonal ingredients and colors, but also help us stay healthy even in the cooler months.
Bon appetit!
