Need Spring Meal Ideas? Get Some Gut-Friendly Salads in the Mix!

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: salad isn’t boring! The quickest way to welcome Spring into your diet is to get some extra greens. Salads are the ultimate easy, gut healthy meal, as they can be endlessly customized and take on many flavor profiles thanks to different oils and dressings. They can also be a fantastic source of protein and healthy fats! Ready for some of our favorites? 

• Try this Caprese Chicken Salad for a protein-filled twist on a classic! Juicy, crunchy, fresh and easy to prepare, this salad will become your go-to lunch while you wait for the summer.
