Pesto Salad

To avoid mincing words I’ll just go ahead and say it: this salad is fucking phenomenal and I’m not even a salad fan. Salad is always bland and unsatisfying to me, but that all changed when I was introduced to Sweetgreen. As suggested by the name, they’re a salad take-out restaurant that has become my go-to lunch break in NYC. I love their lentil avocado salad, and used it as nominal inspo for this recipe. 

YOU WILL NEED:

  • 1 cup baby spinach/kale mix 

  • 1/2 cup spicy broccoli 

  • 1/2 cup spiralized carrots 

  • A few crushed walnuts. Don’t skip this.

  • 2 pre-boiled beets 

  • 1/2 avocado 

  • 1/4 cup quinoa 

  • 2 tbsp pesto dressing - I got mine from Trader Joe’s

  • Tsp of Sircaha if you’re into that kind of thing
