If you prefer, you can use bottled champagne dressing (or freshly prepared lettuce).

For me, time is everything Everyone is busier than ever these days. Balancing daily life, work, and having healthy meal options can be challenging. When I am meal planning I like to have a mix of easy healthy recipes. I visited the Fresh Express Salad Recipes for ideas. And I spotted the Albacore Tuna Nicoise Salad with Tarragon Dressing recipe. Then I had my eye on a few other recipes from the gallery.

White Albacore Tuna Salad with a homemade Champagne Vinaigrette Dressing 

Ultimately, I decided to make my recipe for salad and use a homemade Champagne Vinaigrette Salad Dressing. 

I grabbed three different bags of lettuce. One was the Fresh Express Spring Mix and the other was the Double Carrots. The other was  Sweet and Crunchy Butter Lettuce. Oh, so easy and pre-prepped.

 I added cucumbers, grape tomatoes, green onion, and a red apple. For a garnish I grabbed pecans. I decided to hard boil a few eggs for a little splash of white and yellow (and an additional protein source). 

For the party, I made several big bowls of salads prepping was so easy as I only had the additional items to chop up. Other additional salad toppings you could consider is for options are; bell peppers, organic tomato, artichoke hearts, and avocado.

Layer them one by one, until the bowl is filled. Then I added sliced apples around the edges.

Are you serving salad at a brunch, lunch, or picnic? Make the salad and add them to mason jars. 

Enjoy a healthy salad.

30-Day Salad Swap

Have you ever heard of the 30-Day Salad Swap? 

Having lunch with friends is so fun. We all sat around the table – casually talking, laughing, catching up, and eating healthy. I explained how I wanted to focus on eating healthier and used the 30-Day Salad Swap for my meal planning. It’s a win/win. I decided to share some of the things I learned from an online seminar I was part of with my neighborhood mom’s group. And now I am sharing it with you too!

Common questions asked about Fresh Express 

• Do the salads have to be washed (again) before use?
• Answer: No. Fresh Express salads are thoroughly washed, rinsed, and gently dried, then sealed in our patented “Keep-Crisp®” breathable bag to keep their just-picked freshness without preservatives. The lettuce needs to be washed only if you use something like the Harvest Originals, for example, Full Head Lettuce.
• How quickly should the salads be used after opening?
• Answer: They should be used right after opening or if needed within one to two days. The reason for this is their Keep-Crisp® breathable bags. They hold in the oxygen to keep it fresh. Once opened it loses oxygen, and then it loses quality and freshness.
