Upgrade your salad game with a protein-packed Power Greens Salad. It’s loaded with antioxidants from spinach and strawberries and healthy fats from walnuts and avocado. Walnuts are high in omega-3s, which can help reduce inflammation in the body and help you feel fuller for longer. Avocados are also loaded with essential vitamins and nutrients.
To top off this Power Greens Salad we used Dress It Up’s Blackberry Vinaigrette Dressing. It adds a natural sweetness to the dish that pairs nicely with the strawberries, and seasoned chicken. If you’re unable to grab a bottle of this dressing for yourself, consider swapping it for our Poppy Seed Dressing.
TIP: Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) omissions and substitutions are listed in the recipe ingredients.
