I told you about the salads right? Yes, I am certain I did.
But what I did not tell you, is that it reminded me how fabulous a good salad could be.
No matter if it is a simple salad or quite ornate, a good salad might just make you exclaim ‘Booyah!’ at the table.
I conducted a bit of a survey via Facebook asking folks to share their favorite salad ingredients: Avocado was #1 by a long shot, followed by chickpeas, seed and feta.
Did your favorites make it in this salad?

Well, you know what I think… But this truly does look delicious, and I do love me some carrots, eggs, sunflower seeds and Pomegranate! 😉

Great combination of everything healthy in one bowl. Have you tried massaging the kale? It really works — changes the texture and makes it silky.

Beautiful salad and I have to agree, avocado is on the top of my list of favorites in a salad.
Jennifer says
I have many salad plans ahead but wanted to hit some of the most popular so I would not disappoint…..I also added beets for my friend as she is a beet fanatic……I built from a base of spinach and kale and then worked with the flavors I thought would work best with my egg, pomegranate seeds and naturally, what the kids wanted.

LOL, when you asked about favourite salad toppings, I had no idea you were going to make anything with the ideas. I adore avocado on my salad, that was my fave.
