If there’s one thing that’s a constant in my daily routine, it’s my big salad for lunch. It’s a staple in my nutrition plan—something I look forward to every day. But here’s the thing: salads should never be dull, bland, or unsatisfying. When built the right way, they can be a flavorful, nourishing meal that leaves you full, energized, and truly satisfied.

Looking for a quick, healthy lunch option that doesn’t compromise on taste? This easy salad hack is perfect for busy days! I start with Costco’s organic kale salad mix, skip the processed dressing and toppings, and add my own twist: sweet purple grapes and crispy air-fried chickpeas. For the finishing touch, I use a homemade walnut balsamic vinaigrette made with whole foods, no oil, and no added sugar. It’s fast, nutritious, and delicious—perfect for keeping you fueled and satisfied!
