Watch Me Make My Favorite Salad Recipes
So many people who try to use salads as a way to lose weight wind up making the cardinal mistake of salad making: they forget to make it filling!
I like my healthy salads to successfully replace a meal. To do this, they need to contain healthy fats, lean proteins, and lots of veggies.
The good news is that I have many salad recipes that can do just that, listed below in this article. All these healthy salads are clean, easy, delicious, and filling.
Many of these salads can easily be enjoyed for a lunch or dinner. Plus - I'll share my tips for how to make a salad healthy and delicious at the same time.
Equipment You Will Need
Before diving into the salad recipes, let’s discuss the tools you need to make healthy salads. These tools allow you to make delicious and healthy salads and amazing salad dressings.
- Mixing bowls: because you will use them a lot to mix the salads together - this will ensure you coat all the little pieces with the tasty dressing.
- Airtight containers and mason jars: It's actually possible to store a salad, if you follow certain rules and have good quality containers.
- Food processor or blender: To make delicious homemade dressings for your healthy salads
- Aside from the tools I mentioned, you’ll, of course, need some kitchen essentials, such as a vegetable peeler, knife, and cutting board, to prep the veggies.
Tips For Making Salads Awesome
To make salads delicious, you must be open to new flavor combinations and learn how to make a salad balanced and nutritious. Because, unfortunately, not all salads are healthy. So here are my tips:
- To make salads healthy and delicious, mix greens with veggies and/ or fruits;
- Add healthy grains such as quinoa to make them filling;
- Pack salads with healthy proteins such as lean meats, eggs, and beans;
- Skip the store-bought salad dressing, which is loaded with fats and sodium, and make healthy salad dressing from scratch with clean ingredients. I have some healthy salad dressings here for you to try.
