Why Have Salad?
Salads are a great nutrient-dense meal but only if you know what you’re doing. The healthy salad recipes down below show you how to pack all kinds of healthy goodness into one bowl. While some may work best as a side, a lot of the salads can be a meal itself has it also includes a serving of protein like my chopped chicken salads.
How To Make A Salad Into A Meal
Like I mentioned earlier, most of these recipes can be a meal itself. However, if you see salads down below that you don’t think will be filling enough or is more of a side dish that you want to turn into a main meal, add a serving of protein! Add a baked chicken breast, a piece of salmon, some shrimp, steak, or even tofu to round out a mostly green salad.
Tips For Making These Healthy Salad Recipes
❤ Always wash and thoroughly dry any greens you have. It’s important that you dry thoroughly as you don’t want your spinach salad for example to start getting soggy before you’ve even gotten a change to enjoy it.
❤ If you don’t have time, you can always go with a store-bought salad dressing.
❤ If you have fresh herbs on hand like basil and oregano, it definitely goes well with pretty much every salad.
❤ Make sure you cut everything to bite sized pieces. Salad definitely tastes better when eat bite includes a little bit of everything on your fork.
❤ You can always add some fruits like strawberry and watermelon in your salad for extra sweet flavor.
❤ If you’re a fun of beans, you can also add some on the top of your salad such as chickpeas and edamame.
