I’ve been hearing from a lot of you that fresh recipes are a huge help. We all get stuck in a rut sometimes and nothing motivates me to eat healthy quite like a fresh recipe.
This one is a delicious shrimp cobb salad. With the weather warming up, salad season is back! The lemon in this dressing recipe is especially delicious too.
