The Best Way to make salad
Making a great salad is super easy! Here's how to do it:
- Start with fresh, crispy lettuce (romaine or spring mix work great)
- Wash your veggies really well and dry them (wet salad = yuck!)
- Cut everything into bite-sized pieces
- Add colorful toppings like:
- Cherry tomatoes
- Cucumber slices
- Shredded carrots
- Bell peppers
- Throw in some protein like grilled chicken, hard-boiled eggs, or chickpeas
- Add crunchy stuff like nuts or croutons
- Dress it just before eating (2 tablespoons is usually enough)
Pro tip: Don't drown your salad in dressing! Start with a little - you can always add more.
Quick ratio: Use about 2 cups of greens per person for a meal-sized salad.
