Winter is a doozy when it comes to our eating habits. When it's cold outside, it's too easy to order pizza with a big side of garlic knots and not a green thing in sight, or to fill up our days stuck inside with big projects like baking a big tray of cinnamon buns. Vegetables? It's been months!We'll admit that winter produce shopping isn't the most inspiring—and we wouldn't dare buy a tomato at this time of year—but there are ways to keep your winter vegetable game going. Let these winter salads free you from the drudgery of constant comfort food, because if your body doesn't get something green and fibrous soon, things are gonna start getting weird.
