As we rolled into 2024, we found the refrigerator full of vegetables, leftovers, lettuce, and more.
Lettuce, cucumber, cara cara oranges, sesame seeds, radicchio
No real tricks or anything, below are the suggestions from our salad experts to make your salad really good.
Base The main ingredient. A variety of Lettuces, Beans, Pasta, and Roasted vegetables.
Texture. All salads need something crunchy to help give it some life.
Our favorite? Toasted sesame seeds and sunflower seeds for a bit of nuttiness.
Creaminess Crumbly cheeses, like feta or cotija, or tahini, sour cream or an avocado
Acid in the form of vinegar or lemon juice, some pickled vegetables like pickled red onions, gherkins or pepperoncini.
Got vegetables that are going soft or limp? Give them new life by shaving them and throwing them into a bowl of ice water for at least an hour. They’ll get super crunchy and be very nice in salad, We promise.
Croutons and DANG, WE JUST WON SALAD OF THE YEAR.
Get creative. Bored of your leftovers? Give them new life by making them into a salad.
FAQ’s ABOUT SALADS ❓️
After getting so many requests from our loyal audiences, we are here with our FAQ’s section about salads.
Can you lose weight by eating a salad every day?
Eating salads on a daily basis supports gradual weight loss over time.
Salads are low in calories and high in fiber, which keeps you satisfied for longer.
Scale back on higher-calorie toppings, like bacon bits, croutons, and creamy dressings, to keep your calorie intake in check.
Does salad detox your body?
Eating a salad may make you feel better after overdoing it on greasy food or alcohol, mainly due to the nutrients in the salad components, but it doesn't "undo" any of the damage you did to your body.
Can you eat too much salad?
Be cautious of eating a salad that is exclusively greens or vegetables, as it may be too low in calories, healthy fats, or protein to sustain you.
