Tonight’s dinner!! 
Being on the road always makes me appreciate returning home to my kitchen where I can cook the foods that keep me at my best. I’ve been making this refreshing Greek Salad on repeat to hydrate and beat inflammation after summer run adventures. 

Did you know that foods like cucumbers hydrate our bodies better than water? This simple recipe is hidden in Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow. as the “Mediterranean Hummus Wrap” (RFCFES, p. 108), but I love it as a salad with grilled chicken or steak and Don’t Get Beet Hummus (RFCES, p. 73) with pita or tortilla chips for dipping.  

I crave salads like this all summer long and I always add handfuls of fresh herbs into the mix. Herbs like basil, cilantro, parsley, and mint not only make all of your summer meals taste better, they have a ton of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, making them amazing for recovery. After pounding the pavement or running around all day trying to keep up with Jack, I could use all the help I can get!

Here are some of my other favorite recipes full of fresh herbs (all are in Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow, my go-to cookbook for summer because the recipes are FAST):
- Thai Quinoa Salad (p. 90)
- Presto Pesto (p. 172)
- Pesto Pasta with Sardines (p. 148)
- Turkey Trot Meatballs (p. 147)  
- Immune-Boost Smoothie (p. 55)
- Green Goddess Tahini Dressing (p. 178) – soooo good on literally everything! #powerbowls
