Super Fuel Crunch Salad (Low-carb, Dairy-free, THM:S, Keto, Paleo)

This salad changed. my. life. One day recently, I decided to find a way to fuel my body with loads of veggies without having to take one mouthful of dry spinach. This chopped salad was born. I now eat this almost every single day because I find that I crave it. The flavors and textures work together wonderfully. It is a fairly light salad, but you wouldn't know by eating it. I typically have a huge appetite, but even I find that this fills me up and leaves me satiated! It's important to chop all of the veggies in this salad super small, no bigger than the size of a thumbnail. The best salad is achieved when you're able to get a little bit of every flavor in each bite!

I have linked some of the ingredients that I own down below. They are tried and true products and are the best value and quality that I have found.
