Fit Friday here! Ruthie is here with a fantastic salad to share. I am thinking this will be a great one to share with my 6 year old, she loves any salad that has good cheese on it.
Roasted Mushroom, Avocado, and Ricotta Salad is a beautiful combination of savory flavors plus it's so healthy and such good nutrition!
Roasted Mushroom, Avocado, and Ricotta Salad has so many of my very favorite ingredients in it... heirloom tomatoes, ricotta cheese, cucumber, avocado, and those roasted mushrooms are simply to-die-for!! Oh my. If you've never had roasted mushrooms you are in for a serious treat!!
About a year ago I was enjoying dinner with friends at a potluck get together and there it was… Homemade Ricotta Cheese to go along with a salad someone had brought. I swear I died and went to heaven RIGHT there! Oh. my. goodness. My Homemade Ricotta Cheese recipe link above gives you step by step photo's and instructions so it's sure to turn out just right!
What makes salads so yummy? All the different deliciousness inside of it! Salads have a little of this (avocado) and a little of that (ricotta) with a few other bits and bobs thrown in to make the perfect meal. Well, great workouts are the same way! You throw together a little of this (squats) and a little of that (push-ups) mixed with a few other movements and you end up with a great workout. That is what we are doing today! We are combining some great movements for a great core workout!
These are 5 fantastic movements that will work that core. Add a yummy salad and you are on your way to some killer abs!
Happy Fit Friday!
Much Love and Peace~
