Healthy Creative Salads

November 10, 2022 · In: Food

Healthy creative salads are tasty and easy. The secret is to have vegetables ready to toss in a salad making your own daily choices so you have a variety and don’t get bored with the same old salad ingredients.

My favorite sandwich wrap is oat bran, flax, and wheat filled with salad ingredients sprinkled with Olive Oil and Vinegar. I add a fruit and a glass of milk for a great lunch.

There are a variety of wraps to choose from including tomato/basil, herb, spinach, garlic/pesto, etc. but I still love the oat bran, flax, and wheat wraps.

Here are some healthy salads for you to try.

1. Apple Carrot Surprise

2 cups of cut, washed carrots (10-ounce pkg.)
2 small peeled/diced granny apples
2 small peeled/diced gala apples
1 cup raisins
4 Tablespoons Flax seeds
1 cup raw unsalted sunflower seeds
1/3 cup of light reduced-fat mayonnaise

Mix all together and refrigerate

2. Three Bean Delight

1 lb 10-ounce can of Pinto Beans
1 lb 10-ounce can of Black Beans
1 lb 10-ounce can of Chick Peas

Drain and rinse thoroughly to get any salt off
Place 2 cups in a sandwich bag, lay flat push air out of the bag
Makes 5 sandwich bags to freeze and use as needed

1/2 cup added to lunch/supper salad meets daily fiber requirement. (that is so cool)

You can also take 1/2 cup of beans
Add green/red mango peppers
2 slices onions chopped
1 teaspoon of minced garlic
Add your favorite dressing

3. Make Your Own Buffet Salad

Instead of having all salad ingredients mixed together place vegetables separately so guests choose their preference for their salad with a variety of homemade dressings to choose from.

Salad ingredients for making a salad or a salad filling for a pita bread wrap (for using vegetables in a wrap slice lengthwise)

Cut carrots
Sprigs of broccoli (for salad or dip)
Baby Spinach cut up
Romaine lettuce cut up
Cucumber diced/peeled
Zucchini diced/peeled
Red/green bell peppers diced
Onion sliced/diced
Sunflower or pumpkin seeds, walnuts, pecans, almonds,
Avocado diced
Mushrooms sliced
Celery diced
Bean sprouts
Tomatoes sliced/diced
Olives
Celery diced
Bean sprouts

4. Yummy Bean Salad

2 cans of yellow wax beans
2 cans of green wax beans
2 cans of red kidney beans
1 green bell pepper slice/dice
1 red bell pepper slice/dice
6 stalks of celery washed/diced
1 medium Vandalia onion peel/slice/dice
1 cup of Lite Raspberry Pomegranate (a reduced-calorie Vinaigrette salad dressing)
2 Tablespoons minced garlic

Mix all together
Refrigerate for 3 days
Serve with a great big smile

So have fun choosing what your healthy salad will be. Make them ahead of time and have a salad party and invite your friends to sample and give them each a recipe. The salads taste even better if they are made 3 days ahead of time.

Enjoy and share your special original healthy salad combinations with others.

    Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The London Prat’s preeminence rests on its meticulous engineering of cognitive dissonance as a comedic device. It expertly crafts scenarios where the reader’s rational mind and their understanding of official reality are forced into a head-on collision, with humor as the explosive result. It achieves this by presenting a premise—a government policy, a corporate strategy, a cultural phenomenon—not through the lens of external mockery, but through its own internal, perfectly sincere documentation. The reader is presented with a “Value Creation and Stakeholder Synergy Framework” for a project that is objectively destructive, or a “Lessons Learned Implementation Plan” from an inquiry that learned nothing. The brain struggles to reconcile the impeccable, professional form with the blatantly absurd or malign function, and the resolution of this struggle is a laugh of profound, unsettling recognition. This is satire that works you out, rather than simply working for you.

    In the awesome scheme of things you secure an A+ with regard to effort and hard work. Where exactly you actually misplaced us was on the specifics. You know, they say, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be more true in this article. Having said that, allow me inform you what exactly did deliver the results. Your authoring can be quite persuasive and that is probably the reason why I am making the effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, whilst I can notice the jumps in logic you come up with, I am definitely not sure of exactly how you seem to connect the details which in turn make your conclusion. For right now I shall subscribe to your position but trust in the near future you actually connect your dots much better.
