I've also discovered that many bottled salad dressings are full of added sugar, so in order to keep those salads as healthy and fresh as the veggies I use in them, I make homemade salad dressing. My go-to dressings include creamy balsamic dressing and jalapeño dairy-free ranch dressing.

But just because it is starting to warm up, doesn't mean I'm going to stop making soup. I've found some great soup recipes that are light enough to eat in the spring and I'm able to throw my fresh vegetables in them. For example, Greek lemon chicken soup, paleo white turkey chili and roasted cauliflower soup are all light and delicious.
