What makes a salad a salad

As I was picking out recipes for this month's cooking class about Spring Salads, it made me question "What makes a salad a salad?"

Sure, there are all sorts of salads...

🥗 Green salads

🥝 Fruit salads

🌾 Grain salads

🍝 Pasta salads

🥚 Protein rich salads

🍧 Novelty and Dessert salads

Many recipes have raw ingredients while others are cooked, some have both raw and cooked mixed together. And, what's a salad without a dressing!!

From an ayurvedic standpoint, many salads bring about combinations that can cause digestive disruptions. If you get gassy or bloated after eating raw green salads, you know what I'm talking about.

In this week's class, I'll be talking about the importance of ingredient combinations and digestive strength while demonstrating two salad recipes that are easy to digest and enjoy.

1) Kale Salad with Pecan-Honey Dressing

2) Spring Fruit Salad with Ginger-Honey Dressing

Let's hear from you....What's your favorite type of salad?

BONUS for comments on any digestive disruptions you've experienced with salads, now or in the past.
