I hope you're sitting down for this...

Not only am I writing my second post of the week, but (drumroll please!) I had a salad for dinner! Hahaha ok that's really not news, except I don't eat salad 360 days of the year. I called my dad to get his INCREDIBLE vinaigrette recipe (he's ruined me for any other salad dressings!) and in order to convince him to give up the recipe, I had to promise I'd blog about my salad eating adventure :) 
It's kind of sad when you eat so few vegetables that a salad is a blog-worthy event. That's why I've been focusing a lot more lately on eating as healthy as possible. I've actually been eating a lot of fruits and vegetables this week, and I'm really enjoying it! I was able to grab some really great berries and bananas on my last shopping trip, and fruit has become my go-to snack food this week, instead of candy or other junk food. 
Honestly, this was one of the tastiest salad's I've had in quite some time. I got a salad kit on sale at Meijer a couple days ago and miracle of all miracles, I managed to remember there was lettuce in my fridge before it went bad! Here's a picture of the super yummy salad kit that I will definitely be buying again:

As you can probably tell from the label, it came with a packet of walnuts and dried cranberries, which just made the whole salad extra super delicious. I even put a cute tablecloth on the table and sat down at my dining room table to eat tonight, something I don't do too often. I had some sweet tea to go with my salad, too :)


Overall, it was a pretty delicious and filling dinner! I think I'll be doing this again quite a bit in the future! :)
