Watch as Eating Well shows you four healthy salad ingredients that will fill your stomach up! This tasty chicken and white bean salad is a healthy meal that won’t have you snacking throughout the day. The base of this salad, like basic green salad recipes, is chock-full of greens and lettuce. For a twist on this healthy recipe, try combining romaine or escarole with radicchio lettuce. Veggies are a staple for healthy salad recipes, so don’t be afraid to load up on some extra flavor. Try adding some zucchini, celery, and sun dried tomatoes for an array of colors and tastes. What’s really going to keep you nice and full will be the addition of chicken, beans, and cheese, giving you an energizing burst of protein. The dressing might be the part where you run into trouble, but this healthy homemade salad dressing will pump up this salad recipe without extra calories or fat. Smash a peeled garlic clove with the side of your knife and mash with salt to form a paste. Mix in five tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, six tablespoons of orange juice, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, and one tablespoon of Dijon mustard. Finish off this healthy recipe by adding one cup of finely chopped basil to the chicken and bean mix then add some of the dressing separately to the greens. Toss separately before plating the greens and savory chicken, beans, and vegetables. It’s that easy to have healthy meals that still pack a punch for your taste buds!
