Happy February! A lot of people start the year by detoxing with a cleanse, giving up alcohol for the month of January (surprisingly I did this and only had one slip up that involved catching up with girlfriends and Trick Dog, so, I’m giving myself a pass), starting a new exercise program, or signing up for the gym. With wellness in mind, I thought I’d share some fun salad recipes for those of you who are looking to add more greens into your life and stay on track with the resolutions you made this year. There are a ton more on the blog, so be sure to check it out! Another health trend I’ve seen popping up everywhere is incorporating more plant based meals into your diet. Not only is this good for your body but also helps out our planet. Even Bon Appetit recently committed to making sure that 30% of their recipes are plant based. And, if you’re an avid PInterest user, I’ve been working on adding recipes to my HelloKelC Cooks Pinterest account. You’ll find all my salad recipes on the board here. I’d also love to hear what you guys love about Pinterest and how you use it. Back to the food, salads don’t have to be boring! One of my favorite things to do is add in fruits that are in season (persimmons are perfect right now). My feature recipe this week is a kale and persimmon salad with homemade vinaigrette. I’ve also included my tips and tricks on how to create your own vinaigrettes with different twists. Let your imagination run wild and get creative with your salads. You’ll appreciate it and whoever you’re forcing to eat these salads with you will too, that’s Elliott in my case. Itadakimasu! Kelsey
