Salad season is wrapping up soon, so you bet your bottom dollar I'm squeezing in as many micronutrients as possible! We know that protein is the basis of my meals, but I love to be able to make a large amount of protein at the beginning of the week and use it in different bowls; it helps prevent me from getting bored.
