Creating and Serving Healthy Salads at Home
When you think about
changing to a vegetarian diet from a habitual diet, it might be at first
difficult and a little bit confusing, because you are attempting to change your
entire dietary habit, which you have probably been following through for your
entire life.
Making healthy salads is
totally a work of art. Salads include a variety of different ingredients and
flavors in them, which contribute to gourmet eating in a way. Salads may
include meat or can be made without meat as well, they can be fluffed up with
many things in no time, and seriously speaking, they are considered among the
best healthy foods.
Most people find quite
like a square peg in a round hole when they are faced with a salad bar. Salad
bars are packed with large variety of fresh, green vegetables and fruits,
offering people to design their own salads, but the problem is that the salad
bars are usually exposed to flies and disease carrying insects, which may cause
food poisoning. Therefore, it is better to stay away from those over-exposed
salad bars and choose the option of eating homemade delicious healthy salads.
Homemade healthy salads
are much better than those that you can make at salad bars, and you can always
choose the fresh fruits and vegetables on your own. The homemade salad may
comprise of organic lettuces, eggs and other salad ingredients. When you are
making fruit salad, again be careful in buying the healthy organic fully-grown
fruits. The dressing can become a secondary option when your salad tastes good.
You can give incredible taste to your salad by adding some fresh herbs, spices
and olive oil.
When you have finally
decided to toggle to a healthier vegetarian diet, you are thus committing
yourself with the world of healthier eating habits. Nuts can also be added to
your vegetarian menu as they give tremendous flavor as well as fully nutritious
meal. Nuts may include cashews, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and almonds. If you
do not want to include dairy products in your full vegetarian diet, you may
substitute it with soy-based products, which have the same nutritional value as
that in the dairy products.
If you are taking
healthy salads as your main course, you can add a variety of healthy addition
to your salads, like, nuts, almonds slices, avocados, sunflower seeds, parsley,
grains, etc. you can even add small chicken pieces to your salad as well. Your
vegetables and fruits should be well washed and dry and you can refrigerate
them before making your salad. Serve the salad in the attractive salad bowl,
which can make your salad more appealing and appetizing to your stomach.
