I am posting this recipe for selfish reasons: it’s the day after Christmas, which means that it’s the day after the day that I ate more cheese, sugar and white bread than I have in my entire life. I’m thinking this overly-healthy salad will turn everything around. It’s filled with fiber and protein, and it’ll give your bod a much-needed break from sodium. Recipe and image via Martha Stewart.
