Put Some Spring in Your Step with These Salads

As everyone knows, there are two sides to the fitness coin: diet and exercise. As the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, it can become easier to knock out a quick outdoor workout, but the ever-present temptation of junk food remains (we’re looking at you barbecues).

That’s why we’ve put together a list of our favorite Spring salads that you can pair with your fitness routine to be ready for beach season in no time. And of course, we all know the feeling of being not all that thrilled with a few pieces of lettuce and a cucumber. That’s why each of our picks meets 3 important criteria: the salad must be healthy, the salad must be satisfying, and most importantly, the salad must be delicious! Check out our picks here:
