Well, it’s happening folks. WFH is slowly being phased out and everyone loves to meet in person again! Which means… I do not have time to make elaborate meals. Well, I still do, but in moderation…

And that means I have been rethinking how I can continue to eat healthy, delicious meals so I don’t give in to the temptation of the office snack supply. 

Enter – a quick and easy (and oh so scrumptious) salad to spice up your afternoon snack game or spruce up your workday lunch. It’s fresh, clean, and packed with flavor. I made a big batch at the start of this week and it’s been fueling me ever since.

*Pro tip: Don’t refrigerate peanuts. They lose their crunch. So if you plan on making a large bunch to nibble on throughout the week, add the peanuts right before you eat each time.
