This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at GWU chapter.

I always find myself digging for new ideas to change up that boring Greek salad. Every Saturday for lunch, my mom and I look forward to our newest salad creation, we call it Salad Saturday Surprise.

Below are a few of our favorite concoctions that are healthy, colorful and tasty. Whether we are using up leftover salmon from dinner the night before or opening a can of white beans, we highly recommend that you get your creative juices flowing and feel inspired by our inventive salads. Looking forward to our next Salad Saturday which will definitely have pumpkin seeds in it…happy fall!
