I’m challenging you to eat one meal-sized salad every day for 10 days. Are you in for the 10 Day Salad Challenge?
After releasing my Seven Slimming Meal-Sized Salads ebook last month I decided it would be really fun to organize and host a salad challenge. As I mention in the ebook I’ve found that having one large salad a day is a great way to eat more veggies, get in a variety of nutrients and stay on track with my healthy eating goals. I’m hoping that with this challenge I can inspire as many people as possible to start eating one large, meal-sized salad a day and enjoy all the health benefits that come along with it.
The goal of this challenge is simple: Eat one meal-sized salad every day for 10 days. It can be for breakfast, lunch or dinner and it doesn’t matter what type of salad it is, as long as it’s healthy! I’ve come up with a few basic guidelines, 10 salad recipes and a grocery shopping list with everything you’ll need to make 10 tasty salads.
I don’t want to this to feel overwhelming so there’s no obligation to make all the recipes I recommend or have a completely different salad each day. I want to give suggestions, but I know that some people will have dietary restrictions or simply won’t have time to make all the recipes. No worries! Make this challenge your own.
Here are the basic guidelines:
- Have one meal sized salad every day for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
- Your salad must have tons of veggies, a good source of protein and a healthy fat. <–I’ll be sharing tips for making a meal-sized salad next week.
- Your salad doesn’t necessarily have to have a base of lettuce or greens, although it certainly can.
- Share your salad creations via social media using the hashtags #saladeveryday and #eatingbirdfood. Don’t forget to tag me so that I see the post! Who knows, there may even be a prize involved. 🙂
The challenge will go from Monday, July 11 to Wednesday, July 20. I’ll be posting about the challenge here on the blog and sharing my salad creations on social media so be sure to follow along for inspiration and motivation.
Before we get started, you’ll want to download the shopping list and the Seven Slimming Meal-Sized Salad ebook because a few of the recipes are in it.

Are you in for the salad challenge? Let me know in the comment section! 🙂
Yay!!! I’m in! Such a great way to get over a “I can’t see just salad anymore”-period!
Agreed! You’re going to love this challenge. 🙂
So in!!
Yay!!!! Monday can’t come soon enough.
I am totally up for this challenge. I need to eat ore salads. My only thought is I’d like to replace the meats with beans and wonder if that would be fine?
Hi Marry. Yes, please feel free to replace the seafood or meat with beans. That will work perfectly!
I’m in! Can’t wait! It’s a joy to see all of these yummy, inventive salads!!
Yay! It’s going to be a fun 10 days of salading.
I’m in! I’ve been in a salad rut – I usually eat a big one everyday for lunch anyways – so this seems like a good way to get some recipe inspiration and switch it up.
Woo-hoo! I’m so excited you’re joining in on the salad fun.
I love this idea! I would have no problem eating a salad for a meal every day when they look as good as these do. The Kale and Cabbage Pad Thai Salad has my name written all over it!
Thanks so much, Sarah! The Kale and Cabbage Pad Thai Salad is one of my favorites!!
going to be travelling during this time but sounds like a good way to get back on track after the holiday!!
You can totally still do it while traveling! Almost every restaurant has a salad option. 🙂
Heck yes I am totally taking this challenge! Thanks girl!
Yay!! Can’t wait for Monday.
Great idea! I’m in!
Hooray! So glad you’re in, Amanda.

Yes I’m in! Great idea. Thanks!
All in!! I eat meal-sized salads every day anyway!!
Heading to Wegmans to stock up for the week! I can’t wait to try your recipes, Brittany!
I love salads so I want to join to this challenge! <3
Great idea! I’m traveling for about half the challenge, but have access to some good salad bars. Keep eating clean!
This is such a good idea! Especially over the summer when it’s (hopefully!) hot and all I want to do is eat salad anyway
That’s exactly why I planned the challenge for this month! I hope you’ll join in on the fun. 🙂
I’m in and got a kickstart by having a big arugula and quinoa salad last night!! Can’t wait!
Woo hoo! I love that you started early. 🙂
This is a great idea! Even if you can’t make each and every salad during the challenge you can still use this as a recipe reference! The Grilled Salmon and the Guacamole salad look mouthwatering!
