It’s difficult to be healthy during the winter months at times. My Winter Harvest Salad is so easy and delicious that it just got a little easier! Not only does it maximize on what is in season now, everything on it can be used in other recipes.<\/p>\n

Acorn squash is low in calories and high in nutrients, especially vitamin C. We need more of that to fend of viruses! Pomegranate seeds are also rich in vitamin C but also in folate, B6, and potassium. Quinoa is mineral rich and a great source of protein. Pumpkin seeds are one of the best sources of magnesium which is known for reducing anxiety and being a sleep aid. Then you have chicken and goat cheese to help fill you up. All on a bed of baby greens which taste fantastic this time of year.<\/p>\n

You can enjoy this salad warm or cold, it’s up to you. It’s great both ways!<\/p>\n

Perfect for Meal Prep<\/h2>\n

One of my favorite things about this is that I used mostly leftovers. Rotisserie chickens are my favorite proteins to keep on hand at all times because they can be used in so many different ways. I like to precook my veggies and, if I do them, grains before the week begins that way I can have food ready quick. It REALLY helps and dinner is usually ready in less than 15 minutes when I do this.
