Giada's salad has this secret ingredient

If you're feeling a type of "new year, new me" or "clean eating" sort of ethos and wondering what to whip up for an easy lunch or weeknight dinner, then you've come to the right place. With the salty, subtle crunch of chunks of crumbled Parmigiano-Reggiano and almonds; the chew of dates; the vegetal freshness of roasted broccoli and Brussels sprouts; and the sharp note of Calabrian chile in a bright and punchy dressing, there's a salad that is a real winner.

And it all comes courtesy of Giada De Laurentiis. Regularly dispelling sage advice, tips and tricks to her more than 2 million Instagram followers, DiLaurentiis is nothing short of a culinary icon.
