CARROT AND BEET SPIRALIZED SALAD WITH RASPBERRY BALSAMIC DRESSING
Hi Friends! Welcome back to the blog! Today I am sharing with you how to create a delicious Carrot & Beet Spiralized Salad with Bolthouse Farm’s New Organic Raspberry Balsamic Dressing! I love this new line of organic dressings because it’s full of flavor and has 60 calories and five grams of fat or less per serving so I can pour it on my salads guilt-free.
Hearty, meal worthy salads are a great way to pack in nutritious ingredients from fruits, veggies, herbs, grains and nuts & seeds to add variety to your diet.
One common mistake I see when people create salads is that they don’t include enough nutrient dense ingredients to really satisfy. So make sure to pack in lot of plant-based ingredients such as of veggies, quality protein, grains, nuts, seeds… go crazy!
Another common salad mistake I see is people using salad dressings that are packed with artificial ingredients, loaded with sugar, sodium or so on. The good news is – while the options may be few – there are really good store-bought salad dressings available!
For today’s video we’ve partnered with Bolthouse Farms and I’ll be using their new Organic Raspberry Balsamic Dressing in our recipe. This is a store-bought salad dressing that I absolutely love. The organic, sun-ripened raspberries add a delicious seasonal flavor to the salad while keeping it light and refreshing. The lower fat and calorie nutritionals coupled with the delicious flavor profile of Bolthouse Farms Organic Dressings means I can use a generous pour on my salad. No more putting my dressing on the side! You can find it in the refrigerated produce section next to all the other goodies you’ll want to put in your salad.
