National Salad Month

May is National Salad Month and we absolutely love that!  A simple salad is a perfect easy side to fill half your plate at lunch or dinner, and a hearty salad with a protein can serve as a complete meal.  Any combination of fresh or cooked fruits and veggies and your favourite dressing is a great way to enjoy a meal – and oh so healthy!
