The Truth about
Salads
I would say most
people have the right idea, just need to switch some products out for better
and healthier choices. Like for one,
having some protein is good to have in your salad as it helps keep you full
longer and creates a well-balanced meal. Iceberg lettuce has the nutritional value of
cardboard opt for darker greens that are loaded with vitamins and minerals such
as Vitamin A, Vitamin K, folic acid and manganese. Instead of toppings such as croutons and bacon
bits, find more fresh harvests. Finally,
the dressing, which can make or break your salad, you want a light dressing
that is low in fat and salt.
Now let’s try again...A
big salad with spinach leaves, romaine lettuce, rocket leaves (you get the
point, the greener they are the better!!) Now that you have your leafy greens,
let’s add some cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, and carrots. Next, add some
grilled chicken, nuts, a hard-boiled egg, or any other protein source you like.
Finally, add some light vinaigrette dressing (or at least some kind of light dressing,
just keep in mind the creamier the dressing the more fat it contains). Basically, the more fresh ingredients your
salad contains the better and the more filling they are to your tummy.
Now that you have
more knowledge and truths about salad, go out there and create your salad. You can always get more creative and make it
your own!!!
