In the last few years, sustainability has become a growing trend and movement for many people and industries around the world. One of the most earth-friendly things that we can do as consumers is to eat locally and seasonally. It ensures that we’re eating a variety of nutrients, which is good for the soil, as well as reduces the need to transport foods over long distances, which cuts down our carbon footprint. Autumn in the US is a great time for produce and a delicious way to eat more of it is to add some to a salad. Keep things light and feed your body what the earth is providing with these fresh and tasty recipes.
Feel-Good Fall Salad
This salad from Gimme Some Oven features sweet potatoes, cranberries, and pecans for a delicious combination sure to satisfy through Thanksgiving!
Harvest Fall Salad
If sweet potatoes aren’t your thing, check out this option from Grandbaby Cakes. Apples provide sweetness while feta crumbles round it out with a salty bite.
Butternut Squash Quinoa Salad
For something a little different, we recommend this autumn-inspired bowl by Well Plated by Erin. Without the greens, it’s heartier than a traditional salad, utilizing seasonal squash, pumpkin seeds, and fresh herbs to keep things flavorful.
