  • Use a variety of greens: Don't just stick to iceberg lettuce. There are many other delicious and nutritious greens to choose from, such as romaine, spinach, kale, and arugula. Mixing different greens will give your salad more flavor and texture.
  • Add some protein: Salad is a great way to get your daily dose of protein. Add some grilled chicken, fish, tofu, or beans to your salad to make it a more filling and satisfying meal.
  • Don't be afraid to add healthy fats: Healthy fats, such as those found in olive oil, nuts, and seeds, can help you absorb the nutrients in your salad. They can also add flavor and richness.
  • Make your own dressing: Store-bought salad dressings are often high in unhealthy fats, sugar, and sodium. Making your own dressing is easy and allows you to control the ingredients.
