Hopefully by now y’all know how obsessed LeBraun and I are with Sweetgreen and their “fancy salads” so with all the fresh produce available right now (yay Summer!), we can’t wait to eat them all!
I’ve posted a picture of this salad before but now here’s the recipe! I love the simplicity of this salad. It tastes professional but is incredibly easy to prepare, and I love a recipe that requires very little effort.
The dressing is creamy, light and tangy which the perfect juxtaposition to the sweet dried cranberries, salty seeds and crunchy greens. It’s a wonderful combinations of flavors and textures. If you want something with a little of everything, this Gluten-Free Shredded Brussels Sprout & Spinach Salad is it!
