 What’s it called when you want something that tastes really, really good… but is also basically a high pile of fresh, vibrant, feel-good-in-your-body vegetables? You call it Cashew Crunch Salad, that’s what you call it.

This Salad Is Checking All The Boxes

Lunch rolls around and my internal conversation goes like this:

• I’m hungry.
• What would taste awesome right now?
• No, wait, what would be super healthy right now? Because…mocha peanut butter pie?
• No, but what would actually fill me up?
• WAIT WAIT WAIT what about that salad with the sesame dressing that is awesome-tasting AND healthy AND keeps me full because it’s full of so many friendly fats and good stuff?
• Yes! I love salad!
• I love vegetables!
• I love life!

That’s an actual transcript of my internal dialogue. These are the terms I think in: tastes amazing, mostly healthy, still fills me up
