    Winter Salad with Shaved Brussels and Farro

    Happy New Year to all of the Veg World!!! And what a wonderful year it will be. I’m actually a big fan of New Year’s Day; there’s optimism in the air, and it leaves me feeling so hopeful for the year ahead.

    With every new year comes resolutions. And usually those resolutions have to do with healthy eating and exercise. While it can be tempting to sign up for a 30-day challenge, juice cleanse, or another type of restrictive meal plan, I encourage you to consider learning more about balanced eating in 2018.

    Winter Salad with Shaved Brussels and Farro

    Today’s recipe is the perfect way to sneak in some more plants as you begin the New Year. Eating more veggies never hurt anyone! Plus, this Winter Salad with Shaved Brussels and Farro is a great meal prep dish. Prepare a big batch for tasty lunches all week long.

    Winter Salad with Shaved Brussels and Farro

    Ok so let’s talk about the dressing on this bad boy real quick. Honey + mustard = happiness. That’s a good description of it right there! With a touch of freshly squeezed orange juice, you’ll be coming back for more in no time at all.

    Aside from being easy on the eyes, this dish is filled with foods that can boost immunity, making it a nourishing choice for this time of year. This winter salad is rich in fiber and healthy fats (from the extra-virgin olive oil in the dressing). Add in a lean protein, and you got yourself a balanced meal with the big 3: protein, fat, and fiber!
