Upgrade Your Salad-Making Game

Unleash Your Inner Chef!

September is Self Improvement Month, where you have the perfect opportunity to level up your culinary skills, starting with your salad game! Get ready to create salads that are not only healthy but also bursting with flavor and creativity.

Here are some tips to help you take your salads from ordinary to extraordinary:

Play with Greens:

To add variety and depth to your salad, mix different types of greens. Choose romaine and iceberg for a satisfying crunch, or opt for spinach and arugula for a peppery bite. Don't forget to incorporate watercress or lettuce for a mild and refreshing taste. For an added touch, layer your mason jar salad by placing crunchy ingredients like nuts and dried cranberries at the bottom to keep them dry and preserve their texture.

Embrace Fresh Herbs:

Elevate your salad by including fresh herbs in your mix of greens. Not only will they enhance the flavor profile, but they will also make your salads visually appealing. Utilize those forgotten herbs in your refrigerator or go all out with leafier options like cilantro or parsley. These herbs can be used as a green in their own right, giving your salad a unique twist.

Protein Power:

Make your salad more satiating by adding protein-rich ingredients. Think beyond the traditional grilled chicken or hard-boiled eggs. Consider incorporating ingredients like avocado, toasted nuts, bacon, smoked salmon, or cheese to boost both taste and nutritional value. These additions will take your salad from a side dish to a satisfying and complete meal.
