5 Tips On Making A Great Salad

Confession: I rarely order salads at restaurants. Give me bland, raw veggies any day! Why? The thought of trying to choke down a block of iceberg lettuce topped with 2 tomato slices and dry carrot shavings makes me gag.

Tis the season to overindulge. To get myself ready, I’m purposely overindulging in salads right now – and I must say this is actually more of a pleasure than a chore. I can’t tell you how many kinds of salad we’ve eaten in the last few weeks, and rather than getting old, they’re just getting better.

Remember, when it comes to salad, there’s no need to follow a “recipe.” If you’re missing an ingredient, replace it with something else that will provide the same effect (crunch, spice, tang, creaminess, etc). No one will know and it’ll still be delicious!

IF I WAS A COMPETITIVE EATER, MOUNDS OF ICEBERG LETTUCE WOULD BE GREAT TRAINING! BUT, SADLY I'M NOT.

When I'm not in my own kitchen, I don't try to make salads interesting and filling.

Here are 5 quick tips on making a good salad. List other ways you enhance your salads? Boom.

  1. Use a lean protein source like grilled chicken or fish. Adding fried buffalo chicken tenders or fatty ground meat kinda defeats the purpose if you're trying to have a lower calorie option, so they can be counter-productive.
  2. Use mixed greens like spinach, arugula or kale. I find these are more flavorful and you can eat more of these in one setting. Lettuce tends to make you feel fuller faster.
  3. Use tomatoes or cucumbers as one of the ingredients. They add moisture and may help you not need salad dressing.
  4. Remember your healthy fats! These will help make it hearty so it can be a full meal. Nuts, avocado, seeds, olive oil. Or just use salmon as your protein!
  5. Use a lean protein source like grilled chicken or fish. Adding fried buffalo chicken tenders or fatty ground meat kinda defeats the purpose if you're trying to have a lower calorie option, so they can be counter-productive.
  6. Use tomatoes or cucumbers as one of the ingredients. They add moisture and may help you not need salad dressing.
  7. Add raw or dried fruit to enhance flavor. The touch of sweetness helps curb my sugar cravings as well.
  8. Toss the salad before serving. If you let each person put on their own dressing, some bites will be well-coated and others will be bland. Add the dressing and toss a few minutes before serving, so the dressing has a chance to really flavor the vegetables before they get eaten.

For dressing, consider using items like pico de gallo, goat cheese, fresh lemon juice or low fat vinaigrette. Be creative, just keep it healthy!

Move over picky eaters — make room for children who are miniature gourmets, or "foodies." These kids are anything but finicky. Young foodies love trying new foods, recipes and restaurants. They are interested in cooking, baking and learning about food.

Intrigued? Then you'll be happy to learn that raising a foodie is a lot easier than you might expect. Here's how:

It's easy to assume that kids are happiest feasting on chicken nuggets or macaroni and cheese. But that's only the case when those are the foods they're used to eating. In reality, research reveals that children are most likely to prefer the foods their parents eat. Show your child that you are adventurous with different types of foods and cuisines and invite them into the kitchen to help you prepare meals.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

One of the best ways to teach kids an appreciation for gourmet food is to take them to lots of different kinds of restaurants, when and if possible. There, they can sample new dishes that are prepared differently than what they usually eat at home. If possible, choose restaurants where your child can see meals being prepared in the kitchen. That way, you can discuss the ingredients and cooking methods.

Make It Multicultural

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

About 6 weeks ago I started hearing rumblings about an upcoming ‘documentary’ produced by James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger about vegan athletes. Now those are some heavy hitting hollywood names so there was a lot of buzz about this documentary. I must admit, when I first heard about this, I was extremely skeptical. I am pretty sure I have PTSD from the terrible food ‘documentaries’ I’ve seen so far such as Fed Up, What the Health, and Supersize Me. All of them steaming piles of propaganda and BS. A real documentary takes opinions from both sides, presents evidence, and lets the viewer formulate their own opinion. These were not documentaries, they were story-based narratives that twisted scientific information for their own personal gain.
