Salads are quick, easy, and versatile!
5 years ago I transitioned out of a Standard American Diet (SAD). During the first year I ate practically the same thing every night; some meat, mashed potatoes, and whatever frozen veggie I had on hand.
Needless to say, I got BORED!
One night while planning the next week's meals I realized that I couldn't think of a single dinner recipe that didn't focus entirely on the protein.
One trip to the farmers market with an open mind showed me how much abundance, variety, and versatility can be found in veggies!
Salads are a gateway meal to reconnecting with your body and the abundance of the earth.
I'll show you how to tap into your own creativity to turn any ingredient into a delicious, mouthwatering salad so that you can clean up your diet and eliminate processed convenience foods - for good!

FAQs
What's wrong with the salads I already eat?
- There's a good chance that you eat the same salad all the time. Maybe you have a handful of salad recipes you rotate through. And you're probably using the same ingredients in your salad that you use for dinner and snacks. There's nothing wrong with being content with your food or maintaining consistent eating habits. There's also a lot of benefits to mixing things up and adding more variety to your diet! There isn't a single food that contains all of the nutrients we need to survive. That's why people have evolved to eat so many different things. Some people estimate that our ancestors ate more than 200 unique ingredients in a single year! Most of us aren't getting any where close to that! Salads are an easy and delicious way to get more variety and nutrition into your diet, while learning to listen to your body's internal signals and understand your own food preferences.
How long will I need to spend on this course each day?
The live video lessons are about 20 minutes long. Of course you're welcome to hang out in the comments after the lesson to chat with me and your fellow salad enthusiasts! The activities for each lesson will take between 30 minute and an hour, depending on how deep you want to go with each activity. Six of the activities are to make an actual salad using that day's lesson as a prompt, so you'll be able to multitask on those days by doing the activity and making dinner at the same time!
I'm terrible at cooking. Will this course be hard?
- Not at all! Even if you've never cooked a thing in your life, you will be able to understand the content and complete the activities easily. Each activity is easy to customize to your skill level. This is a fun, stress-free class! Plus, I'll be inside the Facebook group everyday to give you personalized attention if you need it.
I'm a fantastic cook. Why should I take this course?
- If you're already a pro in the kitchen you'll find the course content to be an interesting perspective on an otherwise very simple dish. The place where you'll receive the most value is in the home work for each lesson. I'm not giving you specific salad recipes to parrot in your own kitchen. You'll receive a prompt related to the lesson that will get your own creative juices flowing so that you can come up with something totally unique! There is a huge, diverse world of salad ingredients out there! Consider this course an intensive on pushing your own creative boundaries in the kitchen!
Can I get a refund if I decide the course isn't a good fit for me?
- Yes, the course is refundable within 4 days of the start of class if you decide that it isn't right for you. If you are having technical problems with the course, please let me know first so that I can help.
