It’s that time of the year when we are all trying get more vegetables into our diets on a regular basis and salads are one of my favorite ways to get a variety of plants into my body all in one meal. When done right, a salad should be nutritious, filling, and full of flavors and textures. There will be no boring salads allowed on my watch which is why I am going to share my top ten tips when it comes to making a salad that you will find yourself wanting on a regular basis. Not only that, but I have also compiled my favorite toppings too! I am going to teach you how to build a better salad so that you will never eat a boring salad again.
I love a healthy meal that I can prep at the beginning of the week and have in my refrigerator to eat for easy lunches and more. Even better if that meal can be made from pantry ingredients and refrigerator staples that can be thrown together quickly in one bowl. I always have a a few cans of various beans and tuna which make for a great protein rich base for any salad. This recipe for Greek chickpea and tuna salad is loaded with flavor, cost efficient, and can be made in a hurry, which means you are going to want to have it on hand on the regular.
