It's Easy Being Green
Salads can be comprised of fruits or vegetables or both. Topping them with seeds or nuts will provide a protein boost and often supply necessary fatty acids like omega-3s. In addition to the standard lettuce (choose a dark green variety such as romaine or spinach for more nutrients), tomatoes, bell peppers and mushrooms, consider embellishing your salad with:- avocado
- shredded kale
- sliced mango
- pine nuts
- sesame seeds
- jalapeno peppers
- presoaked raisins (to plump them)
- whole herbs such as cilantro or basil
- grapefruit sections
- thinly sliced radishes
- shredded red cabbage
- pineapple section
