Add Protein:

Incorporate plant-based protein sources to make your salad more filling and satisfying. Good options include: Legumes: Chickpeas, lentils, black beans, or edamame.

Fresh Herbs and Spices:

Use fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, basil, or mint to add a burst of flavor. Experiment with different spices and seasonings to enhance the taste without relying on excessive amounts of salt.

Make your own homemade salad dressing to control the ingredients and avoid excess sugars and preservatives. Combine extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice for a simple and flavorful dressing. Swap heavy creams/ sour creams with yogurt.
