Hello Goodnight,
This article is about how to make the healthiest salads possible. These tips are given by Monica Reinagel, MS, LN,CNS and author of a book on how to have a healthy diet . She gives excellent tips on what to add and what ingredients to just walk on by for the tastiest and healthiest salads possible.
For example she says that we should "pile on" the greens, spinach, cabbage,tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, shredded carrots, mushrooms, onions, garbanzo beans, celery and hot peppers. All very good stuff that contain nutrients and vitamins to remain healthy.
To "sparingly" add the cheeses, avocado, olives, three-bean salads and raisins.
And to "walk on by" the croutons, bacon bits, and the oh-so-decadent creamy dressings.
I thought this could help the recipe group come up with an original salad that they could possibly name in honor of the service learning class.

I really like the idea of creating a salad we can use to promote our project. We can get the local bodegas and even the CCNY cafeteria to offer it.
ReplyDeleteCreating and accessorizing your salads seems like a great way of eating the vegetables that most people do not like to eat. Salads are not usually incorporated into dishes in Harlem and taking away the bacon and cheese makes eating salads even more daunting.
