Mexican-Inspired Salad with Green Goddess Dressing

May 8, 2020
Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I know everyone loves looking at a beautiful baked good but if you are following my brand then perhaps you are here for the salad? Life is all about balance, right?

This Mexican-inspired salad was actually supposed to be posted on Cinco de Mayo, but life and my real job blew up on Tuesday, so instead we had our little family fiesta on Wednesday.

If you love Mexican flavors then you will love this tasty and easy-to-make salad. The Mexican Goddess dressing is thrown together in a blender and the salad comes together really quickly (you may already have most of the ingredients in your house).

Many of you also told me you need quick lunch ideas. You can double the salad and easily have leftovers for one or two lunches (mix the beans, tomatoes, scallions and corn, and when you are ready to eat add the lettuce, avocado and cilantro otherwise you’ll have a soggy salad which is not appetizing).

The dressing makes about 1 1/2 cups but I promise you’ll use it! Try this salad with your next taco Tuesday!

Maybe go crazy and throw in a few tortilla chips (my favorite are @sietefoods lime grain-free tortilla chips). Enjoy!

We are the boss babe generation. We built our lives on very little sleep, a lot of caffeine, and the ability to push through everything, and it worked for a very long time, but perimenopause changes the game. Shifting hormones have made our bodies less resilient - but that doesn’t mean we have to accept the narrative of “this is what life is like now”. Here's what actually works now: - Combine protein + fiber at every meal. Aim for about 25 to 30 grams to steady your energy and blood sugar through the morning. - Find a progressive strength training program you love and lift weights two to three times a week. Strength training protects muscle, bone and insulin sensitivity as estrogen declines. - Walk for 10 minutes after your biggest meal. It helps your muscles soak up glucose and blunts the afternoon crash. -Keep a consistent bedtime. A steady sleep window does more for your hormones than any supplement. - Go easy on alcohol. It disrupts sleep and can worsen hot flashes and night sweats. Small shifts, done consistently, add up fast in this season. Follow @livepowerfullyco for more realistic, science-backed support for midlife women. #perimenopause #midlifewomen #womenshealth #strengthtraining #functionalnutrition

Send this to your friend who is driving herself into the ! We are the boss babe generation . Many of us built our lives on very little sleep, a lot of caffeine and the ability to push through everything and it worked for a very long time, but perimenopause changes the game. Shifting hormones make your body less forgiving of the skipped meals, the sleepless nights and constant stress. The strategies that once worked start to backfire. The good news is that small steady changes to how you eat, move, sleep, and recover add up quickly and this season. it's time to focus on the foundations. If you're ready to rebuild your margins DM me REBUILD and I'll share how The Well Led Method works. #perimenopause #womenover40 #fitmom #hormonehealth #workingmom

SAVE this for your next doctors appointment. Perimenopause is real and so are the symptoms, but it's rarely the only thing that's going on. Low iron, a sluggish, thyroid, low B12 or vitamin D, insulin resistance, and years of chronic stress can all look a lot like hormone changes. The overlap is why so many women are told "it's just perimenopause" and leave without answers. Looking at the whole picture is where real progress starts. If you're ready to rebuild your margins, DM me "rebuild" and I'll share how the Well Led Method works. #perimenopause #hormonehealth #womenover40 #workingmom

if you’ve ever said “I'll eating healthy again on Monday” swipe through. What if instead of getting back on track, you could just stay on it? Because life is going to life. It’s going to get busy (the holidays are around the corner - WHAT??!!). There are going to be weeks that spiral. And if every time that happens your nutrition, movement and sleep go $#!T, then you need a new strategy. The women who make progress aren’t showing up perfectly every week. They are showing up consistently and have systems in place to make things just a little bit easier. If you are fed up with constantly starting again, comment REBUILD. In 5 days you won’t be following a plan - you’ll be running A SYSTEM. #workingmom #womenover40 #perimenopause #fatlosstips

Send this to your Type A bestie! You go all in. Perfect workout plan. Perfect meals. Perfect week. Until a hellish Tuesday happens. The answer throwing it all out the window. It’s building a health strategy that still works when life doesn’t so you can show up consistently not perfectly. That’s why I created The Five Day REBUILD: five days to get back to the foundations of sleep, fuel, movement and stress without overhauling your life. Comment REBUILD and I’ll send it to you. I’m Jeannine, a health coach and functional nutritionist helping high-performing women 40+ build the strength, energy and health to keep up with the lives they’ve worked so hard to build. Less wellness noise. More of what actually works.
