The ultimate salad is tasty but good for you, filling but not fattening, and easy to throw together.
You Will Need
- Greens
- Assorted vegetables
- Protein
- Good fats
- A spray bottle
- Olive-oil dressing
- Berries
Step 1: Start with greens
Start with a good green. The best salad greens, in nutritional order, are spinach, arugula, watercress, endive, and romaine.
Spinach provides lots of calcium, while romaine contains large amounts of Vitamins A and C.
Step 2: Add colorful veggies
Add some veggies, keeping in mind that the richer a vegetable’s color, the higher its nutritional content. Good choices include purple cabbage, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and tomatoes.
Step 3: Throw in some protein
Throw in some protein. Salmon, beans, turkey, tofu, or a hard-boiled egg are all great options.
Step 4: Include some “good” fat
Include some “good” fat—some avocado slices, a handful of nuts, a sprinkling of sunflower or pumpkin seeds, a few crumbles of feta cheese. Just don’t overdo it; it may be good fat, but it’s still fat!
In the nut family, pecans, walnuts, and almonds have the most antioxidants.
Step 5: Chop in some onion
Chop up and toss in some onion, which helps prevent cancer and lowers cholesterol.
For a sweet touch that packs a load of antioxidants, toss in some berries, like raspberries or dried cranberries.
Step 6: Spray dressing
Put some olive oil-based salad dressing in a spray bottle and spritz it on the salad. That way, you won’t ruin your nice, healthy salad with two zillion fat grams’ worth of dressing.
People who eat a salad every day have substantially higher levels of Vitamins C, E, B6, and folic acid, according to a study conducted by the UCLA School of Public Health and Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center.
