Happy March!!  I’m not sure if it is because February only has 28 days or if I’m just getting older, but time sure seems to fly by these days.  When I was younger I couldn’t wait until the next month or year because I just wanted to grow up, but I’m really enjoying this current stage in my life and now I just want things to slow down!

It feels like just yesterday I was so sad that spring was over because I hadn’t gotten to make all my favorite spring recipes, and more importantly, summer was here and it was 110 degrees out!  The seasons are kinda strange here in Arizona.  I feel like we do get to experience all 4 seasons, but some for only a week or two, and unfortunately Spring is one of those seasons.  So, I know that it isn’t Spring weather everywhere right now, but I gotta take advantage while I can!

Although, it is a little bit early, this is really a St. Patrick’s Day themed salad!  Salad might not be the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of St. Patrick’s Day, but this really is the Greenest Chopped Salad you will ever see and it would go perfectly with a big pint of green beer 🙂 at least I’m going to pretend it would!

Spring weather always makes me not only want to clean up and organize the house a bit, but also start eating a little lighter in preparation for the summer, and this salad is perfect for that.  The spring mix makes this salad nice and light and the rest of the super green ingredients bulk it up and make it filling.  You have some creaminess from the avocado and feta, a salty bite from the green olives, sweetness from the green apple, and crunchiness from the broccoli and pistachios.  Every good salad needs some crunch!
