Healthy and Delish Any Time of Day – Egg & Spinach Salad with Maple Valley Vinaigrette
Are you ready for a healthier you? Trying to find ways to eat more salads and greens but are running out of ideas? We’ve got you covered. This is a quick, healthy and delicious salad to enjoy as a refreshing any time, any meal option – breakfast, lunch or dinner.
You can get creative with some add-ons. I always look around and see if there are any left-overs (like pre-cooked Applegate Maple Chicken Sausages to dice up and throw in, or some shelled pistachios or cashews for crunch, some craisins…you’re only limited by your imagination and your taste buds!)
And don’t feel any guilt about the sweetness of maple syrup because it is a SUPERFOOD sweetener loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
