In this special post, we're showcasing one of our favorite local bloggers and olive oil ambassadors, Emily Dixon, of One Lovely Life.

Emily focuses on nourishing the body by creating healthy, feel good recipes that use whole foods. Her recipes are meant to be flexible and adaptable to anyone's needs and her blog is a melting pot of different eating styles, from vegan, to paleo, to Whole30 and everything in between. 

We share many like minded views - like believing in the healing powers of food, eating to live, and subscribing to sound advice from Michael Pollan. I thought, "Why not share this relationship we've created with our readers? They would surely love to see (and try) what we're creating together..."

So here are 5 hearty salads from One Lovely Life that, in my humble opinion, are so much more that "a salad".

Enjoy!
