Eating salad is a great way to add nutrition to your meal. You can combine the best nature has to offer by adding green, yellow and red vegetables. Mix the right foods to create a great taste without the calorie-adding salad dressing. Follow these steps to make a tasty salad without the salad dressing
Steps :
- Make a garden salad with a head of lettuce or create a mixed salad with different types of greens like leaf lettuce, romaine lettuce, endive or spinach.
- Add chopped tomatoes, celery, spring onions, sliced cucumbers and sliced radishes.
- Toss in chickpeas, beans or lentils to add protein and flavor. Add walnuts, cashews or peanuts for added crunch.
- Chop cheddar, old or blue cheese into cubes and add to the salad. You might mix in grated mozzarella cheese. If you like a creamier cheese, then add a few teaspoons of cottage cheese or flavored cream cheese.
- Be creative. Throw in macaroni or pasta pieces for texture and flavor. Add sunflower seeds, chow mein noodles or bacon bits for a tastier salad.
- Turn your salad into a full meal. Add meat, tuna, tofu or chicken to turn a side dish into a main dish. Then combine a variety of vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, zucchini and peppers. Toss the vegetable combination into the salad.
- Top off your salad by sprinkling on a home-made dressing (olive oil is very good for you when not heated), lime cordial, balsamic vinegar or fresh-squeezed lemon juice. For a different taste, throw in some fresh spices like dill, oregano, basil or garlic.
