So tonight I made a very simple salad to go along with some turkey burgers and sweet potatoes. I didn’t have much in the house and was initially annoyed, but this salad turned out to be great! I gave the kids the option of putting cheese on theirs because I didn’t particularly want any on mine. You can add any kind of protein to this, maybe some chickpeas, and it becomes a great lunch.
