Make This: Super Spring Protein Salad

As the weather begins to warm, we all begin our metamorphoses, emerging from our home life cocoons, and blossoming into Spring butterflies. With Spring comes, not just warmer weather, but for many, an entire overhaul. We spring clean our work, our attire, our home, and of course our health. Outdoor workouts and runs multiple, while oven made dinners switch over to salads and more desirable spring and summer dinners. Although the first day of Spring brought many of us a cold day, even snow, as April fully presents itself, make sure you and your fridge are prepared. Stock it up with fresh veggies and begin planning your Spring meals now. You can start with this super simple spring protein salad. It’s perfect for dinner as a side, or even main course for two, with plenty leftover for tomorrow’s lunch. Plus, with only a few ingredients and quick prep time, it’s a desirable recipe for any meal planning matriarch, or patriarch.
