Summer screams for healthy, light eating. And what better way to do that instead of opting for a delicious green salad. Check out our easy tips on how to make the perfect one for hot days.
Use Different Types Of Greens
If you only opt for lettuce, the salad will definitely get boring. That’s why you should feel free to experiment with leafy greens of different textures and tastes. Some of the most popular choices are iceberg, romaine, rocket, mignonette lettuce, spinach, arugula and more.
Skip the high-calorie dressings when you’re making your summer green salad. You definitely want to keep it light and healthy. Instead of opting for choices such as Caesar or blue cheese, try some delicious substitutes. Olive oil should always be on top of your list, followed by a low-calorie raspberry vinaigrette, and balsamic vinaigrette.
Once you’ve chopped your leafy greens, make sure that you keep them in the fridge. Don’t add any dressings or salt right away, instead wait until the meal.
The perfect summer green salad can also contain some fruits and vegetables of other colors. Beetroot, tomatoes, carrots are the perfect additions for a fresh, healthy taste. Just choose your favorite thing to add, and get playful with the ingredients each time you make one.
