Eating “Light”: Salad Ideas
Hey San Antonio,
I’m not the biggest salad eater out there, but I don’t mind the “right kind of salad”. Too many people think eating salad is automatically healthy, but once you throw on the crutons, cheese, and the worst, salad dressing, you might as well have eaten a cheeseburger.
REMEMBER: EVEN LIGHT SALAD DRESSINGS ARE LOADED WITH SUGAR! Stick with vinagerette, no dressing or a VERY small amount of a fat free version (like a teaspoon).
Dieting (and I hate that word) does not require eating like a rabbit, but if you enjoy salad, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the right ingredients.
Examples of Body Transformation Friendly Salads include:
•Greek salad (put extra protein on, such as hard boiled eggs, chicken, or seafood)
•Chicken (cooked without breading, of course) atop salad greens, chopped snow pea pods, chopped red pepper, and walnuts
•Low-carb cole slaw with chicken, pecans, and bits of apple
•Tuna salad with greens, tomato and avocado
•Salmon on top of greens, blanched green beans, mushrooms, and sprouts
•Grilled Chicken breast with greens, cucumbers, pecans, and crumbled blue cheese
•Lean Steak with greens, thinly sliced red onions, green pepper, and mushrooms
