SIMPLE SALAD GUIDELINE

These are very simple and quick salad recipes. They don’t take take up to ten minutes to make as long as you have all the ingredients on hand.

You can always switch up, add or remove some of the ingredients according to your taste and mood at that particular moment.

Today, I will be showing you the basic steps on how to make your salad. (Salad doesn’t have to be boring)


INGREDIENTS

  • Any leafy greens (lettuce,kale,spinach, etc)
  • Crunchy vegetables (carrots, beets, bell pepper, cabbage, cucumbers etc)
  • juicy fruits/vegetables (tomatoes,grapes, etc)
  • Protein (chicken, fish, tofu, eggs, chickpeas, beans, etc)
  • Starch [potatoes, rice,quinoa, etc (I don’t usually put them to be honest)]
  • Optional toppings (sauerkraut, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, Avocado, Slivered almonds, etc)

Easy Dressing recipe

  • One part acid (lemon juice, Vinegar)
  • Two parts oil (olive oil is highly recommended)
  • Herbs of choice (thyme, rosemary, basil, etc)
  • Optional sweetener (honey, date syrup, sugar, etc)

[ you can make a creamy dressing by adding hummus, Greek yoghurt or mayonnaise]


PREPARATION

Chop, slice, shred or tear your vegetables however you want.

Try to make it pretty though. Because I believe that the prettier your food is, the more likely you are to eat it and enjoy it.

The salad above has lettuce as it’s base, carrots, cucumber, green bell pepper, chickpeas, tomatoes and sauerkraut.
This is the same as the above but with fish.

This has lettuce,cucumber,beets, carrots, corn,eggs,cabbage, tomatoes
and green beans.
The base is spiralized cucumber, (just to make it fancy😂😂) sautéed spinach and kale, roasted chickpeas, tomatoes, radish and eggs. Topped with flax and chia seeds.

NB: you can use one or more of the Ingredients. Don’t be scared to mix stuff up

and make something entirely new.

ENJOY YOUR DELICIOUS SALAD!! ❤️❤️
