How to build a healthy salad
How to build a healthy salad:
Firstly choose a base such as mixed leafy greens, baby spinach, or rocket.
Add crunch with essential nutrients like beans, cauliflower, carrot, celery, cucumber, radish, sprouts or onion.
Next add a good quality protein such as quinoa, buckwheat, eggs, chickpeas, chicken. Salmon, tuna.
Drop in some good fats like avocado, flaxseed oil, olive oil or tahini.
Sprinkle on some nuts or seeds.
Green it up further by adding flavoursome herbs such as mint, basil, coriander or parsley.
Toss and enjoy.
A great way to do a salad is by finding a glass jar with a wide opening and layering the salad starting with the dressing on the bottom and working up in layers. Then when you are ready to eat you turn it upside down into a bowl and its ready to go – it’s an idea you could prepare the night before and taken on the go 😊
