Simple Healthy Salad Recipe [RECIPE]

I try to have one or two salads a day….but I know to some people that can get boring. Eating lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and adding boring low calorie dressing.  Well stop right there because salads are not as boring as you think….you can add so much interesting ingredients that can blow your socks off.

Step out the box and start adding things you never thought you could….you have the power to do whatever you want..no one told you “YOU CANT”! So next time you go to the grocery store pick up some of these ingredients and have a salad everyday….. try getting some red cabbage, kale, spinach, bean sprouts ( any type of sprout will do) organic edenames (great protein source)  dried fruit, avocado, apples, butternut squash (yes…roast it and add it to your salad, that goes for sweet potatoes too) hemp heats, flax seeds, avocado, raw nuts, mango, fresh mint, fresh dill, watercress, amaranth grain, dandelion, quinoa (cook and and sprinkle it on, quinoa keeps good in the refrigerator for about 5 days.) mandarins, black beans and chick peas.

This is just a simple list, feel free to add anything alse BUT stay away from all processed ingredients like friend meats, deli and sandwich meat, fried breads, and most importantly already made salad dressings….they are all full of additives and preservatives.
