I had one of the best salads in the Phoenix Airport in 2016 that’s stuck in my memory. I thought it might be fun to recreate and make it a little more nutrient balanced with a light and delicious protein packed collagen dressing!

Chop Chop!

I’m not normally a big fan of salads.

I’ve had too many dates where the spinach got lodged up in my gums, or the lettuce was cut so large that it wouldn’t fit in my mouth and took a tumble down the front of my outfit and on to the floor, or they’ve been the all party and flavor at the top and bland central as you reach the bottom.

My other problem is that most dressing totally jack with my macros for the day….and I repeat…its for a salad.

But I had one from the Phoenix Airport in 2016 that’s stuck in my memory as one of the BEST I’ve ever had. The thing that made this salad so awesome was that it had 5 greens, protein, and toppings that were chopped so fine, every bite got a little of something. It was tossed in a creamy but heavy ranch dressing.

But why would I add collagen to my dressing? Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. It is the major component of connective tissues that make up several body parts, including tendons, ligaments, skin and muscles. As we age, we start to produce less and less naturally.

According to an article on Healthline.com:

Taking collagen supplements has been shown to reduce inflammation and stimulate collagen synthesis in the body. This may help promote pain relief for people with joint disorders such as osteoarthritis.Healthline

So, to keep the creeks at bay you may want to start taking a few scoops daily to receive all the wonderful benefits of collagen.

Fun fact: did you know collagen can help your live detox from alcohol?
