Salads are not what they used to be. Lettuce and tomato are not the salad any more, they are just the starting base. What else can you add? Try some of these additives for a salad surprise. BTW-Eat This Not That means don’t add any cheese except feta and DON’T under any circumstances use full fat dressing. The best dressing is V and O of any type you like. I like apple cider or rice vinegar and Balsamic special vinegars. I use olive oil only for salads or dip and I use Canola oil to cook.
- Boiled egg
- Blueberries
- Different types of tomato-there are sooo many
- Any and all veg. Broc, Cauliflower, Carrots, (I like grated carrots) etc.
- Add a special bag of Asian mix or South West mix
- Nuts (I like walnuts)
- Feta Cheese
- Try “Skinny Girl” Dressings
- Any different type of greens
- Meat
- Salmon, tuna, tofu or any other vegetable protein, like chick peas or beans
- Just for fun-Try scallops (I buy the frozen bag at Trader Joe’s)
So, you see that I am right-right??? Do anything to your salad. Just be sure to watch the carbs and use lots of fiber! Let me know how it goes.
