Here are 10 salad tips for that may help with your healthy way of eating:
- Choose the freshest most attractive veggies to include in your salad. The salad will look better to you and taste fresher.
- Start with a good base of greens. Skip the iceberg and use romaine, arugula, baby spinach and other mixed greens.
- Good additions to the greens, are staples like cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, radishes, and mushrooms.
- Dice red, yellow and/or orange peppers. They are sweet, add crunch, and make your salad look “pretty”.
- Add some lightly steamed veggies to “beef up” your salad. Steamed broccoli, asparagus, green beans and cauliflower work well.
- If making a whole meal salad, add a hard boiled egg, some grilled chicken, tofu or leftover turkey. Occasional use of boiled shrimp is okay.
- Add in a surprise ingredient like half a small diced green apple (no dried fruit).
- If you use dressing, add vinegar (not a heavy balsamic if the sugar in it stalls you) and a 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, or use one of the zero calorie Walden Farms dressing.

- Salad is your best friend for dish to pass, or meal at a friend’s house. This is only if you are bringing it, so you can be careful with the ingredients. 🙂 Be a good friend and offer to bring the salad.
Eating lots of salad will help your weight loss results and should be part of your eating plan for continued good health.
