PERFECT SALAD

How to make the PERFECT SALAD

A forkful of fresh leaves with some juicy chunks of veggies, chewy proteins, creamy cheeses and crunchy nuts combined with a perfect moist dressing is the most satiable meal one can bite into. A precisely built salad provides just the right combination of flavors to your palate and nutrients to your body. Salads get blamed for their labor intensive preparation and many ingredients that go into making one. But an avid salad eater would never complain and knows how to have things handy to spin up a wholesome salad in no time.

The changing food choices have created a low noise around salads. From all the cluttered information out there about why salads are good and why some say they are not the wisest choice, we picked facts to Saladsplainthe situation.

Salads are a great way to start your day with nutrient-dense foods. They may boost your mood and productivity.

The fresh greens and vegetables is salads are rich in fibre, water content, vitamins , minerals and antioxidants. They aid your digestion, improve eyesight and may protect against mental decline.

The balanced calorific values in salads are good for healthy weight loss. A proper, effective salad should be a well-balanced combination of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Skipping the essential fats and proteins and just eating the leaves and veggies could in fact slow down your metabolism and make you gain weight in the long run.

Sooner than later, you will realise that salads are quite addictive for their freshness and taste. Under the notion of guilt free eating, you may tend to eat large portions of salads. This will cause bloating and defeats the very objective of healthy diet and weight-watching. Portion control and moderation are important.

Your salad should leave you full and satisfied until your next meal. After all the effort you have taken in making a salad and eating one, you will only be irritated if you are hungry again after a couple of hours. Veggies and greens alone, that have 90% water content, can not do the job completely. Be sure to add some bulky protein and healthy fats to make a filling salad.

Make your own dressing, avoid those with additives and preservatives. Avoid croutons and canned fruits, always prefer fresh ingredients. Choose simple vinaigrette-based dressings and avoid thick, creamy ones. No fried toppings. Prefer grilled, steamed or sautéed animal proteins instead. Always serve and ask for dressing on the side, so you can watch the amount of dressing and prevent the leaves from getting soggy.
