BUILD YOUR BEST SALAD OUR RELIABLE FOOLPROOF STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE:Healthy Fats OLIVE OIL AVOCADO OIL AVOCADOS NUTS CHEESE Vegetables CUCUMBERS PEPPERS TOMATOES CORN CARROTS Grains RICE QUINOA PASTA FARRO COUSCOUS 7 STEP 3: Vegetables It’s time to start layering your vegetables. Begin with refreshing Mini Cucumbers, succulent Azuca Cherry Tomatoes, or crisp Bell Peppers to boost crunch, essential vitamins, and nutrients. You can add other veggies like corn, fresh, crisp slices of carrots or any other you love. STEP 4: Leafy Greens Layer on leafy greens like spinach or romaine to provide essential vitamins and minerals. The garden greens will also add a fresh, crisp texture to your salad. Mix in some arugula, shredded Brussels sprouts, Swiss chard, or kale for added variety and nutrients. STEP 5: Beans For an extra protein boost, add some beans to your salad. Black or kidney beans work great for this layer, adding a hearty texture and delicious flavor. You can even mix chickpeas, edamame, or lentils for an added dose of protein and fiber. STEP 6: Protein You can add grilled chicken, tofu, or tuna for your protein layer, depending on your dietary preferences. This will provide an extra protein boost to keep you full and satisfied. You can mix some hard-boiled eggs or shrimp for added protein and flavor. STEP 7: Toppings Finally, top off your salad with an abundance of nuts or seeds for an added punch of texture and flavor. Incorporate herbs like cilantro, basil, mint, or parsley for added fresh taste. Sliced avocado or crumbled feta cheese give added creaminess and flavor. STEP 1: Dressing To start, let’s create a delicious dressing for your salad. Mix some high-quality olive oil, avocado oil, vinegar, and your favorite aromatic spices, such as garlic or oregano. You can experiment with combinations to find the perfect flavor profile to suit your tastes. Once you’ve got your dressing, add it to the bottom of the jar. STEP 2: Grains Next, add in some grains to provide complex carbohydrates and fiber. Pasta, brown rice, or quinoa are great options for this layer, satisfying texture while adding a nutty flavor. You can even mix in some couscous or farro for added variety.
