Goat Cheese Salad

in Power Salads

I love this salad, sometimes, I make it a bit excessively. In my past corporate life, I was a stickler for taking my own home-cooked food. I enjoyed making mason jar salads and this one was my all time favorite creations. Being the only vegetarian at work (at most companies), a few of my ex-coworkers always knew I was the one with the Mason jar salads in the fridge. Curious little bees that they were, they would always ask me for recipes, which I was happy to share. If you decide to make this recipe as a mason jar salad, it is very easy to transport and all the layers sit well together. xfbdb

The wide array of flavors from sweet, creamy, crunchy and tangy, makes this extremely flavorful. I also love it for the perfect blend of fruits, nuts, seeds and veggies, giving it a wholesome nutrition. The days I work from home, I enjoy eating this salad within the solace of my quaint backyard with a nice cup of herbal tea or fresh smoothie. One of the key flavors for this salad is the home-made dressing. I’ve played around with the proportions of ingredients, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with it. It is easily fixable, if the balance of one flavor consumes the others.
