healthy eating a must after last week – winter salad

While on my road trip to Nebraska, I did nothing but eat unhealthy. It was a road trip and we had no time to stop off at fancy restaurants. So we did Jack in the Box mostly and a few other quick bites from gas station stops. My the 7th day I wanted to just throw up. So now that I am back, I am going to start my week with salads, slowly working my way back to healthy eating. Here’s a recipe that stuck out, especially since I couldn’t find fresh apples anywhere on the road. Ingredients •1-2 cup(s) pomegranate seeds (about 1 pomegranate) •1 pear, cored and chopped •1 large apple, cored and chopped •1/2 cup pumpkin seeds For the vinaigrette •2 teaspoons maple syrup (I USE AGAVE SYRUP INSTEAD – not a fan of traditional maple syrup) •1 teaspoon lemon juice •1 teaspoon olive oil •1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar •1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Toss all together and enjoy {recipe and photo source, click here}
