We all know
the health benefits of salad however it's very important to choose vegetables
for salad. Including nutritious vegetables in your salad will make it a healthy
diet. If possible, salads should be made entirely of raw vegetables and raw
fruits. Do not mix too many foods in a meal, it may spoil the taste. There is
no point making salads so complex, when simplicity is a requirement for
building health.
Best Vegetables for salad:
Lettuce: Lettuce is the foundation for
your salad. If you prefer iceberg lettuce, look for a dark green and weighty
head, with no brown spots on the stem or outer leaves. Check the condition of
red leaves in bagged lettuce because they tend to spoil first. It's nutritious
and tasty too.
Raw broccoli: This adds crunch
and powerful phytochemicals, nutrients found only in plants, to your salad.
Look for heads with tight, even florets. Color should be an even dark green or
bluish-green. Squeeze stalks gently to ensure firmness and check that leaves
are intact. You can also try packaged broccoli.
