Frequently asked questions
3. Tastes Great
Gone are the days when salad was just a diet food. Salads taste great because you can prepare in so many different ways. Add a pear, apple, orange, strawberries or kiwi. Toss with some onions, mushrooms and a sprinkle of nuts. Enjoy each salad because it has your personalization of your favorite fruits and veggies!
4. You Are What You Eat
Have you ever eaten at a buffet and went up for extra portions more than you probably should? If you answered yes, you are among most people. This is the same reason I never eat at buffets; people eat past their hunger zone. If you had a buffet of just lettuce you would feel far different. Salad is filling in a healthy way!
5. Eat as Much Salad as You Want
The best thing about salad is that it is both healthy and low in calories so you can eat as much as you want. Just make sure you are aware of how many calories any of your extras add so you know what you are eating.
6. Skip the Croutons
Croutons are high in calories, fat and carbohydrates and they can ruin your healthy salad. Salads with a large handful of croutons can add as much as 250 calories to your salad. Add a tablespoon of nuts instead and even though you will add 120 calories, you will also add protein. If you add walnuts you will be adding omega-3 to your salad as well!
7. Do Not Let Dressing Sabotage Your Salad
Dressing can be high in calories, fat and oils, and if you are not mindful it can sabotage your healthy salad. To save some calories, you can make your own healthy dressing or eat your salad without the high fat dressing!
Now that you are aware of all the reasons you should make the salad your main dish, what are you waiting for? Make a healthy salad for lunch and dinner today. Add some lean protein, some fruit and call it a healthy and happy day! Will you be eating more salad?
Comments
Stephanie: Yeah salads are delicious depending on how you customize it
Jennifer: Yummy!!!
Esther: Best thing about salad is that humans are not able to digest it the same way a animal, like a cow,would so we can benefit from all the fiber with no calories! Just go slow with the dressing, even though it's so delicious.
