Salads That You'd Be Happy to Eat for Dinner

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

We were always told that we have to eat our vegetables, or we need to make sure we're eating enough salad. But what if you don't like salad? Or you think salads are boring and don't fill you up? I'm here to share a few tips and ideas that will be a game changer for you!

  1. Leafy Greens! It does not have to be iceberg lettuce. You can change things up and use baby spinach leaves, crunchy romaine lettuce, arugula, kale, beets greens, collard greens, the point is, there are so many options to choose from!
  2. Don't like leafy greens? The base can be cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, or try something fun such as wild rice!
  3. Add fruit. Apples, pomegranate seeds, pineapple, watermelon, mangoes, and pears are so delicious in savory salads! You have to try it.
  4. The dressing. I always make my own salad dressings from scratch, it's so easy and takes 5 minutes to make! Choose from a Creamy Balsamic Dressing, Italian Salad Dressing, Homemade Ranch Dressing, the best ever Caesar Dressing, Asian Inspired Dressing, or make a simple Vinaigrette!
  5. Add Protein. Cooked shrimp, sliced chicken, or leftover seared steak are all wonderful additions to any salad.

My favorite salads that I would love for you to try!
