There’s nothing like a fresh salad to energize you while you go through your day, along with providing you with multiple healthy nutrients! Here are three fresh salad combinations that work well as side dishes as well as refreshing main courses.
Greek Salad
This is a winning combination on a sunny day. Combine lettuce with black olives, feta cheese, red onion, olive oil, and black pepper. For best results, serve with garlic bread and an olive oil dip.
Alkaline Salad
Alkaline salads are great for digestive health, are packed with nutrients, and usually can even improve one’s mood. They combat excess stomach acid and soothe your insides. To make an alkaline salad, mix spinach, lettuce, and other legumes with avocado, beets, apple, pear, and a sprinkle of hazel nuts. Sprinkle with salt and serve with an olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing.
Grilled Vegetable Salad
A well-executed grilled vegetable salad is right up there with some of the tastiest quick and easy meals you can find. On top of that, it’s also really healthy and a great way to get your five veggies a day.
Good vegetables for grilling include eggplant, sweetcorn, sweet peppers, tomato, broccoli, and cauliflower. Grilled garlic cloves and shallot onions are a wonderful complement. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with lettuce, spinach, and rocket with a drizzle of sweet chili sauce.
