Everyone feels great about their choice when they opt for the salad. Salads are a great way to pack more veggies into your diet, but be aware because not all salads are figure friendly.
Salad is a great option for dieters, but what you add to your greens is what could be adding weight to the scale.
Fatty dressing, croutons and starchy carbohydrates like pasta should be avoided. High-calorie healthy fats like nuts, olives, and avocados should be added with the 3/4 rule. Three-quarters of your salad should be made up of leafy greens and raw veggies, while 1/4 is devoted to small portions of healthy fats and higher-calorie “fun” ingredients.
Also, it’s great that you realize the high fat content of dressings, but you may want to think twice about ordering your salad on the side. In stead of drenching each piece of salad in your dressing, just pour a small amount on your salad to give it some flavor.
Here are some great salad ideas so that your salad never gets boring.
