Healthy Salad Recipes

By: IC Home | Home-and-Family | Family-Events


Healthy Salad Recipes are a work of art. The thing that I like about this artsy model of eating is that salads can be made with many different things in them, they can have or not have meat in them, they can be whipped up in no time, and generally speaking; they consist of healthy foods.

The only time that a person may run into trouble is at Salad Bars. Many offer a wide variety of greens,fresh vegetables, fruits; certainly, consumer may create his own salad, BUT, the problem arises when the temptation of too many foods offered to eat; foods are often over-exposed to flies and other disease carrying pests; and there is a risk of food poisoning from salad items allowed to stand at room temperatures for more than an hour or two. I say stay away from salad bars. The dressings are high in calories and one tends to use much to much dressing. What is our option? Eat a home-made healthy salad recipe.

Home made healthy salad recipes are so much better; we can choose to buy organic lettuces, and salad ingredients. If we use eggs, once again, range free organic eggs. Fresh fruit salads, once again do your best in purchasing local healthily grown organic fruits. A person will find they use less dressing than usual if the salad tastes good! And we can make our own dressings, vinaigrette's, using fresh herbs and spices and a good extra-virgin olive oil.

The healthiest salad is likely one with dark green lettuce leaves, well washed and patted dry and place in the refrigerator until ready to make the actual salad, as this little secret will give you crispy lettuce. Break into smaller chunks when ready to use. Add remainder of ingredients. Just before serving,
pour your dressing (vinaigrette) onto the salad and toss gently until lettuce leaves and salad is covered. Serve your salad . Always use an attractive salad bowl, as it makes the food more appetizing.

Should you want your healthy salad recipe to be the main course, then there are a multitude of healthy additions you can add to the salad. Nuts, grains, almonds slices, sunflower seeds unsalted, artichoke, avocados,parsley, In some healthy salad recipes, deli meat is added, cut into small pieces, or even chicken pieces - the healthy salad recipe is at your fingertips!
