I Love Salad! Challenge
How many of us wish we ate more servings of vegetables than we already do? Now, we can. We begin with the I Love Salad! Challenge.
Salads are such an easy way to get in several servings of vegetables in one meal.
Salads can also become a meal when you add fun toppings.
Salads are easily customizable so you can have a new combination every day.
For the last week I have had a salad for lunch each day. Here is my favorite combination these days. From start to finish, it took only 5 minutes to assemble.
I challenge YOU to change up your every day salad to something new and different. Add different vegetables and toppings, and turn your salad into a fun and exciting meal. You can also read this blog for cooking and nutrition advice.
How do you participate? Take a photo of your salad(s) and email it/them to me at sabrina at rhodeygirltests dot com along with the ingredients that made the salad. Feel free to share a blog post where you wrote about the salad as well, if you are a blogger. I will assemble them all on the I Love Salad! Challenge page which you can visit by clicking on the photo of the salad in the right sidebar labeled “I Love Salad! Challenge“. Please feel free to forward this post to everyone you know- the more people participate, the more fun it will be! The goal is to start eating more salads and more creative and different salads.
The challenge begins today, April 15th and continues until Monday, May 17th. Feel free to submit as many salads or links to salads as you like. You don’t just have to submit your own salad creations! Salads eaten out at a restaurant or someone else’s house count too! Each submission will count as one entry for the challenge, and at the end of the challenge the person who submitted the most creative salad combination(s) will win a fun prize!
What’s the point? Vegetables are so important for our health, but so many people have difficulty getting enough servings and enough variety of vegetables a day. I hope that with this challenge you are encouraged to try new vegetables, new combinations, and ultimately eat more servings and more variety of vegetables a day!
Good luck, and enjoy those salads!

Salads are my favorite! I want to participate. Expect an e.mail from me soon! =]
rounding up the salad pics now….tons on my phone, but sadly, not an iphone, so must work to get them herded.
This is so awesome! I’m a new reader and so thankful you re-posted this. I’ll add hard-boiled eggs to a lot of salads but the flavor combo of walnuts, avocado, chickpeas and balsamic is one of my favorites! And any Mexican-themed salad I can scoop with blue corn tortilla chips is a winner 🙂
I need someone on my butt 24/7 to eat my veggies and this may work!
