Fresh Express 30 Day Salad Swap

March 15, 2014

Cravings are pretty hard to overcome.

Do you give in completely and make up for it elsewhere in your day? Do you allow yourself a little taste, or is it too hard to stop at just one bite? Do you deny yourself and start to feel that “Hangry” (hungry-angry) feeling creep up?

Or, do you try to find a healthier substitute to get you through?

I got an amazing chance to host a Fresh Express 30 Day Salad Swap party for Moms Meet. I had a great excuse to get together with some Mommy friends and try out some of the awesome Salad Swap recipes.

With the vouchers from the folks at Fresh Express, I picked up a couple Fresh Express products from Target and had a blast picking out salad recipes from the 30 Day Salad Swap app.

The first recipe I chose was the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo Salad. This was by far the favorite of the group! In fact, two of the ladies went home to make it for dinner!

Instead of indulging in a big bowl of pasta smothered in Alfredo sauce, we had a combination of whole wheat past with Cesar dressing and other yummy ingredients topping a Fresh Express 50/50 salad blend.

Yum! You get all the flavor to satisfy that pasta craving, but in a healthy way!

The next salad we sampled was the Bacon Cheeseburger Salad. This recipe was pretty amazing too! Not pictured are the super-mini cheeseburgers I made with lean ground beef and a little shredded cheese. The combination of the pickles, mini burgers, and Thousand Island dressing are the perfect substitute for burger craving!

The last recipe we was the Pepperoni Pizza Salad. This was another amazing salad, but I had to tweak it a bit. I couldn’t find Genoa salami when I was shopping and ended up with turkey pepperoni instead. I also missed the part that recommended a red wine vinaigrette, so we used a balsamic which was just as tasty. This salad was still a winner!

We had so much fun watching the kiddos play together and sampling some pretty awesome salads! The party aftermath, both from the kids as well as us, was definitely the sign of a good time.

Each of the ladies made sure to download the 30 Day Salad Swap app for themselves so they could search for more amazing recipes based on any high-cal craving. From the app, they also will earn coupons for every two Fresh Express product they buy, and they can use the Fresh Express food tracker. I really encourage you to download it, and you can find more information at the Salad Swap website. I had so much fun searching through recipes, and they didn’t disappoint! I have been craving the Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo Salad ever since!
