We get it. January's the start of a New Year: a fresh start, a healthy start, a cleansing-and-leafy-greens start. Everyone's telling you to dive into bowls of kale, to crunch into piles of raw veggies, to whip up frigid smoothies -- but all you really want is something warm. Something comforting. Something that won't leave you colder (and hungrier) than you were at the start.
That's why we're turning to warm salads this January: salads that are comforting, filling, and (bonus!) can be stretched throughout the week. Some are vegetable-based, some are grain-based -- and all are what we're craving this winter.
