Can this count as my green for St. Patricks Day<\/strong>? How about I wear my green pants while eating this salad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been eating so much of this Power Protein Salad, <\/strong>plus pounds of avocado that I\u2019m surprised I haven\u2019t turned green. At least I\u2019d be on trend. Green is still in, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m making up for the 9 months that I didn\u2019t go near anything green, unless it was chives in my buttered baked potato. This salad is loaded with protein and healthy fats. Since I<\/del> my husband grills a bunch of chicken and I cook up a bunch of eggs over the weekend, this salad is super easy to throw together for lunches during the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you familiar with\u00a0Bragg Liquid Aminos<\/strong>? I throw it on everything and in this case, I used it as the dressing. It\u2019s an alternative to soy sauce and believe it or not, it has health benefits. SCORE! You can put it over rice, veggies, quinoa, sushi or use it as a salad dressing. I\u2019m pretty sure you either love it or hate it. I wasn\u2019t a fan in the beginning, but now it\u2019s a staple in our house. For nutritional information, you can read more about it\u00a0HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, if you\u2019re paleo, there\u2019s only one small change to the dressing (no bragg, sorry) and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n
