Healthy Salad Recipes for Weight Loss
In 15 minutes or less, you can be enjoying one of these easy and refreshing salads.
1. Fiber-Packed Spicy White Bean & Spinach Salad In this light and refreshing salad, we season white beans with ras el hanout, a Moroccan spice blend which features cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, ginger, cardamom and ground black and red pepper. If you prefer a creamier texture, gently mash some of the beans as you stir everything together. The bean salad is served on a bed of lightly dressed spinach that pairs well with the beans, but also grilled chicken or steak kebabs on another night.
2. Mixed Greens with Lentils & Sliced Apple This salad with lentils, feta and apple is a satisfying vegetarian entree to whip together for lunch. To save time, swap in drained canned lentils–just make sure to look for low-sodium and give them a rinse before adding them to the salad.
3. Chile-Spiced Chickpea SaladThis flavorful chickpea salad gets heat from sambal oelek, a ground chile paste. Carrots provide crunchy texture to contrast the chickpeas in this easy no-cook recipe.
4. Fig & Goat Cheese Salad The sweet-and-savory combination of the figs and earthy goat cheese will surely satisfy the palate. If you can’t find dried figs, try swapping in dried apricots.
5. Cranberry-Walnut Chickpea Salad
6. Kale, Quinoa & Apple Salad This kale, quinoa and apple salad is perfect for fall.
7. Cabbage, Tofu & Edamame Salad Craving crunch?
