Vegetables salad

Do you like salad? The other day, I had vegetables salad on the other day. I loved it! I liked Soup Plantation, they have a huge salad bar. But you have to be picky when it comes to this situation. Here are many tips I got from Yahoo to get a healthy salad; less fat and calories:

  • Go dark on greens
  • Go bright on veggies: Next, add about 1 cup of the most colorful crudités - broccoli, carrots, cherry tomatoes, green and red peppers, beets, like that.
  • Choose lean proteins: Aim for about ½ cup of these. Chickpeas and kidney beans are nifty sources of fat-free protein (6 grams each). Sliced hard-boiled eggs (8 grams) are another smart choice; just limit the yolk to limit the fat
  • Sprinkle on extra flavor and crunch: Like cheese
  • Dressing: Now swirl on about 1 tablespoon of heart-healthy olive oil, a splash of vinegar, a grating of pepper, and toss.
That's all enjoy your salad!!!
