Whoever said you don’t make friends with salad couldn’t be more wrong. Salads don’t have to be sad beds of lettuce with a couple of tomatoes.
When made with the right combination of protein, veggies and dressing, salads can be a filling, nutritious, easy meal for lunch or dinner.
Leftover meat from family meals or your meat delivery subscription box makes the perfect addition to any salad. You just need to know what meats pair best with what toppings and dressings.

Apple, Pear and Toasted Walnut Salad w/ Pork Tenderloin (Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom)
We’re just going to say it: Fruit in a salad is vastly underrated. We love how this salad balances the bitterness of walnuts with the rich taste of pork and the sweetness of the pear. It’s the fruit/nut/meat/veggie combination that we didn’t even know that we needed in our life.
