I think we can all agree that salads are a wholesome, healthy and good way to add more nutrition to ones diet. Eating more vegetables & fruits in their natural state is absolutely fantastic for your health. The vitamins and minerals…the fibres and micro-nutrients…But I don’t think we can all agree that salads taste nice. Some of us, myself included, steer away from salads unless it’s smothered with creamy dressings and high fat toppings like nuts and cheeses.
But my mother-in-law loves salads, so whenever she visits, there’s always a salad with each meal. For her, I came up with a trio of delicious salads that satisfies the taste buds as well as our health consciousness. Each with only 3 main ingredients, they are easy to make and keeps in the fridge really really well.
Cheap and easy to make
A great combination of very humble and inexpensive items, these salads give you both savoury and sweet notes. Great as a side dish or add in some protein and make it into a meal in itself. Vegan friendly and delicious, I dare any salad skeptics to give these a go!
