What Can I Put On My Salad So It Tastes Nice?

ย 

Eating salad doesnโ€™t have to be a chore because of blandness, dryness or greenness!

Don’t Let This Be You ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฟโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Salads are ย normally made by combining both Lettuce or mixed Vegetables with toppings and some dressing. ย 

ย 

There are so many different foods that you can add Salad with in your meal consumption’s, of course some are more Di Nutritional than others.

ย 

ย So here are some foods that get the Di Nutritional stamp of approval for you to put on your Salads from now on.

ย 

Oil

I mean I could eat it dry and be very happy, but I have to admit that no Salad is at its full potential of tastiness without itโ€™s dressing.

ย 

I came across a study and it said that people who ate Salads with Oil in the dressing absorbed more nutrients from the Vegetables than those who had unhealthy dressings on theirs. ย 

ย 

Oil has our good source of fat so we can make a full fat Salad anytime we want because itโ€™s good for us!

ย 

What kind of Oil to use?

ย 

Olive Oil, Extra Virgin Oil & Avocado Oil. ย ย 

ย 

There are plenty more that are healthy for you, but I donโ€™t want any of you to think that Vegetable Oil is healthy to have as it isn’t.

ย In fact, have a read of this (Click Here)


ย 

Whole Grain Foods

Keeping it all the way 100 with what we put next to our Salads, so foods such as…

ย 

Quinoa & Brown Rice:- these grains will add texture and some flavour to our Salad.

ย 

Whole grain foods also have lots of Fibre in them and this always keeps us feeling fuller for much longer, and less likely to binge between meals, which is a huge no no!

ย 

Just one cup of Brown Rice has 5gs of protein and more than 3gs of Fibre.

ย 

Eating Whole grain foods has loads of benefits to us too, such as lowering Cholesterol levels & Weight loss.

ย 

Here are some other Whole grain foods I recommend you purchase

(Click Here) ย 

ย 


Hard Cheese

Hard Cheeses such as Parmesan & Cheddar as a Salad topping makes it taste nicer and is Di nutritional.

ย 

Hard Cheeses are widely available in blocks in Farm shops ย & Supermarkets..

ย 

Letโ€™s look at the example of Parmesan Cheese.

ย 

Now this has 10 gs of protein and it also packs ย 30 to 35% of the Daily Value (AKA DV) for Calcium..

ย 

which is an important nutrient for blood clotting, proper Muscle contraction & our bone health.

ย 

Soft Cheese

Soft Cheeses such as Goat, Feta & Mozzarella are excellent choices for Salad toppings.

ย 

The soft Cheeses provide a really soft texture compared to the hard ones,

also soft Cheeses provide Calcium & Protein…

ย 

Goat and Feta Cheeses are made from Goat & Sheepโ€™s Milk, thus are Lactose-free and great options for those who cannot drink Cowโ€™s Milk.

ย 

Once again soft Cheeses are widely available in Farm shops and Supermarkets. ย 

ย 

Tofu

Edamame AKA Tofu & Soybeans, are a great source of Plant Protein to add to our Salad.

ย 

Just one cup of cooked Edamame has around 15 to 17 gs of Protein, whilst Tofu has 20 gs..

ย 

Both foods are loaded with Folate, Vitamin K & Several other micronutrients.

ย 

Eating these ย help prevent getting ย some Cancers and Heart disease.

ย 

When out shopping for Soy foods make sure to look for Whole Soya beans & Tofu, which will not include too many additives.

ย 

Lastly most Soy foods are modified unless it says on the packet โ€œORGANICโ€ or โ€œGMO-FREEโ€.

ย 

Seafood

Seafoods such as Shrimp, Halibut, Salmon, Sardines & Lobster are very healthy and great sources of Protein.

ย 

They also contain Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamins & Minerals.

ย 

The most Di Nutritious way to prepare seafood for Salads are Grilling & Baking.

ย 

Of course Deep-fried is not so Di nutritional and is not to be done.

Nuts & Seeds

If you’re allergic then skip this one!

ย 

Nuts & Seeds are also handy to add to your Salads..

ย 

Pumpkin Seeds, Almonds, Peanuts (Real ones not K.P Nuts), Walnuts, Chia Seeds ectย  are highly Di Nutritious on our Salad toppings.

ย 

It gives us the much needed fibre which is missing in a lot of the worlds meals at Breakfast,Lunch,Snack & Dinner times.

ย 

Like I said before, we’re not looking for nuts like K.P Nuts. Always look for raw or dry roasted without any added Salt or Sugar.

ย 

THATโ€™S IT!

ย 

ย I really enjoyed sharing this with you guys. Please do let me know thoughโ€ฆ

I eat Salad at least once a week, but I know I should be eating it everyday. I normally eat take-outs so I’m for sure going to get on top of it whilst I can still see my belly button.
