This salad is made with grilled vegetables and a homemade sauce. Keep this recipe close by because everyone is going to ask you for it!

HOW TO MAKE A GRILLED GARDEN SALAD

This is an elevated garden fresh salad. Instead of just chopping up raw veggies from your garden, you’ll be taking different ones and grilling them.

Then, you’ll be drizzling it with lime and oil or Tiffany’s Clean Eating Green Goddess Dressing. Place raw veggies with the grilled ones, all on top of a bed of lettuce.

What you have is a stunning salad that steals the show and becomes the main course.

HOW TO KEEP SALAD FRESH

This garden salad has both grilled vegetables and crispy raw greens. Keeping everything fresh in the refrigerator might be a challenge. You don’t want the grilled veggies to make your lettuce soggy.

All combined, this salad will last about two days in the refrigerator. Store it in an airtight container with a lid. That will help you salad stay as fresh as possible.

A white bowl containing this Clean Eating Grilled Garden Salad looks vibrant with grilled corn, peppers, zucchini and some fresh cherry tomatoes in a bed of salad greens.

HOW TO PACK SALAD FOR WORK

If you are going to pack this salad as a work lunch, don’t combine the ingredients for the salad before you pack it.

To keep your lettuce crispy, follow one of these tips:

  • Layer the grilled veggies first. Put the veggies and sauce on the bottom and the crispy greens on top. Then mix them together during lunch. This method works great when you use a small mason jar.
  • Use separate containers. Another super simple hack? Just store everything in separate containers and mix them when you get to work.
  • Adding protein to your garden salad. What is your favorite meat to put in a garden salad? This is a really tangy sauce with a hint of spice, so it can pair well with almost any meat or protein source you choose.
      • Here are some popular choices:
        • Chickpeas – If you are vegan, these can add protein and a nice texture.
        • Hardboiled eggs
        • Chicken
        • Steak
        • Cheese
        • Salmon – Fish and veggies are best friends in the culinary world. And they will give you a hearty but light lunch.

I was traveling for work at the time, and had to be pumped full of morphine just to get on the plane back home. I was bedridden for 3 weeks and miserable. I desperately tried every natural remedy I knew about to bring down the inflammation… and some things worked better than others. One of the most effective herbal supplements I took was a daily turmeric supplement . Thankfully, after several more weeks of turmeric supplements, acupuncture, and taking it easy, my tailbone had a full recovery.
