Eating salad is a great way to have a healthy and balanced diet. You can combine the best that nature has to offer by mixing red, yellow and green vegetables. Select the right ingredients to create a great salad without having to resort to high-calorie sauces. Follow these instructions to get a tasty salad without dressing.
Steps
Step 1. Create the base of the salad with a head of lettuce or a mixture by mixing various types of leaves such as lettuce, romaine, endive or spinach
Step 2. Add chopped tomatoes, celery, spring onions, cucumbers and sliced radishes
Step 3. Add peas, chickpeas, beans or lentils to add flavor and protein
Add walnuts, cashews, or peanuts for a bit of crunch.
Step 4. Add some cheese, such as mozzarella
Cheeses are often high in calories and fat, so it's best to use them in moderate quantities.
Step 5. Be creative
Add rice or pasta to change the texture and flavor of your salad. You can also use sunflower seeds, chow mein, or bacon pieces for an even tastier salad.
Step 6. Make the salad a complete meal
Add meat, tuna, tofu or chicken to finish off the work. Combine different vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, zucchini and peppers and add them to the salad.
Step 7. Flavor with a homemade sauce (olive oil is very healthy when used raw), balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
To make the dish even more tangy, add some fresh spices to your liking, such as dill, oregano, basil or garlic.
Step 8. Finish
Advice
