Jennifer Garner BIG Salad #plantbasedrecipes

Jennifer Garner recently went on Women’s Health and described the big fat salad she has every day for lunch, so we had to give it a go!

When she mentioned a hearty veggie, I instantly thought of cauliflower, and because the oven was already on for the sweet potatoes decided to roast it.

Then she said put anything in there; it’s big, it’s hearty so I added some lentils because if you’ve been here for a minute, you know we won’t have a salad without a good source of plant protein in there and also added some fresh dill which really made the whole salad pop.

As Jennifer did not mention the dressing, I decided to make my absolute go-to dressing with balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard, it goes with everything and is so easy to make.

So what do you think? Will you give this salad a go? For me, it’s a big yes, I was in the moment I heard ‘big salad’ 😍

When people think of a healthy salad, this is what should come to mind, not the eating disorder fodder that gets passed as a salad in other online circles. Good on ye!

We saw her right after a workout. She had no makeup on, and her skin glowed. She was chill and super nice. Very respectful of everyone.

I love the fresh dill idea, it really does elevate the flavors! A little LyfeFuel on the side and that salad's a full meal for me.

I love topping a green salad with an over easy or poached egg right on top. Break the yolk. O.M.G. So delish.

[jeanieirwin]

Lovely fresh colorful salad that's a whole meal.

I love warm salads with different types of mushrooms, chicken, and sundried tomatoes

I also like eating salad everyday unless its really cold. Then i eat soup. But both of those meals can be made on repeat or something new every single day.

Arugula is SO good. It has this strange bitteresque addictive quality. And it grows like a weed too, our garden is packed with it and it’s just prolific. I love picking leaves and making ham/cheese sandwiches with it.

You can never go wrong with a hefty and hearty salad❤

Her beauty seems natural and mostly boils down to healthy living. She even has wrinkles in her forehead, she is not even trying to hide.

Exactly the type of salad I love. You have your protein, your carbs, fiber, vitamins…
