It’s easy to get stuck in a salad rut. Here are some ways to shake up your salad routine.

1. Go Seasonal

Fresh corn is in season and Trader Joe’s offers tasty optionroasted-corn-bacon-bleus. Try this romaine with roasted corn, bacon and bleu cheese dressing.

Instructions:

  • Halve a romaine heart.
  • Drizzle with your favorite salad dressing (Newman’s Own Bleu Cheese pictured).
  • Top with Roasted Corn and Bacon Bits.
  • Don’t be afraid to use your hands.

 

2. Use Fresh and Roasted Vegetables

Instructions:

  • Shred romaine.
  • Toss roasted vegetables in sesame dressing (Kraft Asian

  • Top with fresh scallions.

 

3. Change up your BASE!
