We know at times salad can be a tad boring, especially if you have the same thing each time. However the beauty of salad is that it is so versatile the options are endless! Below we have some of our own favourite for you to try at home to jazz up your usual recipe. Don't forget we also make fresh handmade salads on campus everyday too perfect for on the go!
Dress It Up- Adding a salad dressing can completely change the flavour, why not change from the usual olive oil or vinaigrette by adding in some spices and garlic? Or go for something more flavor than your typical ceaser salad dressing such as ginger, or lemon plus it is much less calorific too!
Add Some Crunch- Why not experiment with texutre and add some bite to your salad with some roasted nuts such as almonds, walnuts or pine nuts? If nuts aren't your thing you could try raw cabbage instead!
Sweeten Your Salad- Add a sweetness to your salad without a cup full of sugar by using fruits such as berries, pears, pomegranate or oranges are classics. Or you could simply add honey to your usual dressing for something different.
Change Up The Greens- We think of salad as typically consisting of lettuce, onions, tomatoes and peppers. Why not cange things up and try out some different flavors and textures? Avocado can add a great buttery richness to a salad, or add a bit of heat with some fresh chills. Make your salad more filling with some carbs such as sweet potato!
We hope you enjoyed this weeks blog post and that you are also enjoying the sunnier weather!
