Healthy Salads, Healthy Life

February 17, 2009

Salads are very healthy. Dieticians always advise you to include salads in your daily diet. Usually, we eat salads as a side dish or before taking the full course. However, let me tell you that you can have salads as a meal. Rather, the meal is better, as it promises you low calorie but loaded with vitamins and anti oxidant agents.

When I am talking about salads, don’t think that it would be your simple garden salad. Salads can be of many varieties including the ingredients like nuts, fruits, lean meats and lots of green veggies. Here in the following I would give you some tips to make verities of salads to fill yourself.

For a real low calorie filling diet, green salads are best. Green salads are full of fiber, which fills you and at the same time, it does not give you unnecessary calories. What you can use for green salads is spinach, lettuce, iceberg, leaf and etc. For better taste, you can use a bit of butter, only if you are having salad as your full meal.

Vegetable salads are also common and easy to prepare. Here, you can add any raw vegetable according to your choice. There is a range of choice like green beans, carrots, radish, snap peas, broccoli, cabbage, tomatoes and many more.

You also have the option of choosing fruit salads. To prepare this salad, you can use blueberries, apple slices, pineapple slices, and raspberries, dry fruits like resins, nuts as well. According to your taste, you can add a pinch of salt. To make it more filling and delicious, you can add some yoghurt.

Out of various leaned cooked meat, you can prepare delicious filling salads. Yes, you can use hardboiled egg apart from cooked chopped and cooked lean beef, shrimp, and chicken breast. However, you have to remember that meat salads have more calories than fruits or vegetable salads.  When I am saying cooked meat means, they are supposed to be plainly boiled meat, not the fried one.
