I read somewhere that April is the new New Year’s — or, maybe more accurately, can be considered a New Year’s Do-Over. I’m not sure this is official or anything, but I’m going to go with it. I mean, I’m going to go with it in the morning. Because I might possibly be finishing off a grape soda that I stole from my husband’s stash tonight.

But tomorrow. TOMORROW! I’m going to eat a salad.

[Side note: This isn’t my first do-over of the year. And it probably won’t be my last. But as long as I keep trying, I’m hopeful that THIS time is the one I’ll make more healthy choices than bad ones. And the same goes for you. You can try again, do-it-over, start fresh. With a salad or a plan or a jog or a patch or a first draft. We can try again, again, together.]

Now, back to the salads. I was actually going to eat a salad today but when I considered the ingredients in my fridge, I got a little depressed. So I went to the store and I went to the Pinterest and I came up with a list of salads I want to try. Just in case your do-over includes salads, too, here’s my list!

7 Salads I Want to Try This Spring

• Southwestern Chopped Salad with Buttermilk Ranch Dressing: This one’s pretty obvious. Mexican food is my favorite, and recently I’ve become a pretty big fan of ranch dressing (I used to hate it. Go figure.).
• Thai Cashew Chopped Salad with a Ginger Peanut Sauce: I like pad thai. And peanut sauce. And the thing about chopped salad is that, well, you chop everything up. So even weird veggies are edible.
• Melon and Pineapple Fruit Salad with Honey, Lime & Mint Dressing: I don’t love pineapple, but diced and mixed with melon and a sweet dressing? This sounds delicious.
• Very Berry Cheesecake Salad: Okay, fine, so this one looks more like a psuedo-healthy dessert. But it also looks yummy and I want to eat it and so it goes on the list.
• Chili Lime Sweet Corn Salad: HELLO! This is obviously going on my Cinco de Mayo menu. I mean, I don’t have a party planned or anything, but now that I’ve seen this, I might have to come up with something!
• Pear, Pomegranate and Spinach Salad: Now, this is not normally my kind of salad. But I decided that I needed to stretch myself. So pears and pomegranates it is.
• Creamy Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad: Right. I know. This is NOT a healthy, eat-for-lunch, save-calories kind of dish. But I’ve pinned it — or a version of it — about a dozen times. So it seems like a good thing to finally make!

Now, all I have to figure out is which salad to try first! I’m thinking the Thai Cashew Chopped Salad, with a side of Melon and Pineapple Fruit Salad… Salads work for me!

What’s your favorite kind of salad?
