How to Make a Healthy Salad?
A healthy bowl of greens can be a perfect addition to your daily meal plan, but it can also become a diet disaster if you're not careful. If you don't make your salad carefully, it can be full of fat and calories. Learn more about what to add and what to avoid to your next salad.
1. Make a base for your salad by choosing greens that you like. Foodies might cringe, but I recommend iceberg. Iceberg lettuce gets a bad rap, but it adds crunch and texture without adding calories. Toss it with spinach romaine, or arugula for a flavorful healthy mix.
2. Then add a lean protein. A low calorie meat or dairy product will help you to feel full and satisfied with your meal. Finally, fill up the bowl with colorful veggies.
3. Avoid “healthy” high fat and high sugar foods. Now, here's where the tricky part come in. Many dieters like to add ingredients, like avocado or low-fat salad dressing. They sound healthy right? But there are pitfalls to both of them and to may other popular healthy ingredients. Many low-fat salad dressings, for example, are full of sugar.
