chopped apple, celery, and goat cheese salad
This salad uses a bunch of fall veggies to make a hearty, fiber-rich meal that's perfect for meal prep. It's crunchy and has a little sweetness to it! My favorite are these homemade croutons that I use on a lot of my salad recipes. You just spray pieces of bread with olive oil and add a little garlic salt and paprika, then turn the oven to broil and the pieces of bread crisp up in just a few mins. This one is a must-try.
Hope you enjoy! xo
