It's a new year and we want to tackle an old stand-by: the lunch salad.
And we know: Lunch salads can sometimes get a reputation for being bland, boring, and/or just generally ~sad~.
Salads with wilted greens, little protein, and zero textural variety are the face of hunger.

But they definitely don't have to be. If you know how to build a good one, they're win/win!
To power you through an entire work day, your salad should be filled with all kinds of non-leafy ingredients. When made correctly, a salad will be flavorful, bright, textured, and — most important — provide you with a sustainable source of energy.
