Which came first, the summer or the salad? Who knows … But what is clear is that, to beat the heat, nothing better than a refreshing salad.
A very versatile dish as you will see in the recipes that we propose in the gallery. And that gives a lot of play with the tricks that we give you below.
Infallible tricks to get the most out of your salads
- Green leaves. If you use a lettuce base, it is better that it be romaine than iceberg, which has a lot of water and is less satiating. And remember that you can also use spinach leaves, lamb's lettuce, arugula, tender shoots …
- Cabbages. In addition to red cabbage, try adding kale, it is low in calories, antioxidant and very rich in fiber, iron and calcium. Brush the leaves with a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice and salt to reduce their bitterness. And it dispenses with the stems, since they are very tough.
- Vegetables. To increase the fiber and protein content of a salad, add legumes. A food that we should eat at least three times a week according to experts. Lentils, chickpeas, and beans are perfect ingredients to add to a fresh salad.
- Cereals. Another option is to add cereals, such as rice, quinoa or couscous … If you use them in a whole version, they will satisfy you more and you will last longer without hunger.
- Pasta. Better cold and always al dente. Eating it cold causes a progressive increase in glucose levels and fills us up for longer. And if it is al dente, you have to chew it more and so you feel full much sooner.
- Egg. It is a perfect complement to make the salad more energetic without the need to add many calories. You can put poached egg, boiled egg grated , French omelette cubes, hard-boiled quail eggs …
- Lean meats It is another of the ideal complements to turn the salad into a unique dish or food for the tupper without being too heavy. The most suitable: turkey meat or cold cuts, chicken breast, cooked ham, Iberian ham. Both in cubes and shavings, they fit perfectly.
- Blue Fish. Canned tuna, mackerel and sardines, or smoked, marinated or grilled salmon complement a salad in a pinch, and are super convenient thanks to their high content of healthy fats.
- Shellfish Prawns, prawns, mussels, and clams provide a ton of protein with very little fat. Ideal to add as a stub to a salad as long as you do not have cholesterol problems.
- Avocado. It is rich in monounsaturated fats, which reduce "bad" cholesterol, and has a satiating effect. Of course, as it is quite caloric, a quarter of a piece is enough per serving.
- Fresh fruits. Much better than dried fruits. Raisins and dried cranberries, for example, have a higher concentration of sugar due to the loss of water. So go for the fresh versions and other refreshing fruits: apple, kiwi, strawberries, mango, peach …
- Nuts and seeds. Although they may be high in calories, they provide healthy fats, fiber and protein, and many beneficial nutrients. The trick is not to overdo it. A small handful for four people is enough.
- Citrus peel. You can also add a little orange or lemon zest, which in addition to giving it a very special flavor and aroma, is very healthy to reduce the risk of skin cancer.
- Cheeses It is another way to incorporate protein and calcium. But go for a fresh version. The more aged the cheese, the more fat it will have due to the loss of water.
- Express salad. And once in a while, go for single ingredient salads. They solve a meal for you in the blink of the fridge and help your stomach not work too much. You just have to add a delicious dressing and enjoy!
