If you are looking for healthy lunch ideas, try one of my favorite healthy salad recipes. This Fresh Asian Chopped Salad is very high in anti-oxidants and is a healthy lunch that will keep you full with its high amount of fiber. I served this salad with my favorite sesame ginger dressing. It’s a very light dressing recipe, super easy to make and so refreshing. Unlike store-bought sesame ginger dressing, this homemade salad dressing recipe allows you to customize your own ingredients. Regulate the amount of sugar (or agave syrup) to your liking, as well as the level of soy sauce, and/or sesame oil.
