I LOVE a good salad. To be quite honest, I used to be obsessed with them and would have one every day. So much that my friends and I gave them a nickname of ‘bomb ass salads’ in college. Now, I don’t have them as often, but when I do, it’s gotta be good.

Having ready cooked meals in the fridge or freezer is a great way to enjoy home cooked meals when you don’t have time in the kitchen. Freezing ingredients is also a great way to use up food that may be expiring soon. Check out all my make ahead meals on The Herbeevore for some inspo to help you prep, keep, heat, and heat!
I used a few frozen veggies for this recipe instead of fresh produce: like corn and edamame. Frozen produce is a great option for finding fresh and flavorful vegetables in the off season. Frozen vegetables are often picked at peak ripeness, so they are a much better option than canned. Check out all my recipes that use Freezer Ingredients on The Herbeevore – great for those nights when you want dinner ready fast!
