Superfood Salad

Something most people struggle with in their daily diet habits is variety! It is hard to break out of routine but I promise this superfood salad is the place to start. 

It is loaded with nourishing ingredients like protein packed lentils and edamame, antioxidant boosters like kale, pomegranate seeds, and dates. Healthy fats like walnuts and olive oil ... the list goes on. 

Above everything else you will enjoy the complex flavors and delicious crunch!
