If you are working on easy ways to improve your diet, adding more salads is a good option. Salads can be so versatile. They aren’t just about lettuce, but are a canvas for lean protein, beans, nuts, seeds and other vegetables and fruits.
Topping your salad with these heart healthy options improves nutrition, and in addition, flavor. Take a look at this delicious salad. I saved time by using a packaged mixed spring mix and shredded carrots. Added a sliced hard cooked egg (protein and choline) and some chopped pistachios (fiber and healthy fat), and a bunch of tomatoes and apple slices (more potassium and vitamin C and A). Delicious!
