In today's health-conscious world, salads are often viewed as the ultimate choice for weight loss and overall wellness. However, not all salads are created equal. Many store-bought or restaurant salads can be calorie-laden, masked with heavy dressings and toppings that defeat the purpose of a healthy meal. If you're on a journey to shed some pounds or simply looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle, it’s essential to understand how to craft a salad that is both nutritious and delicious.

Ingredients

2 cups mixed greens (spinach, kale, arugula)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 ripe avocado, diced

1/2 cup chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup feta cheese or nutritional yeast for a vegan option

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes for a kick

Instructions

Start by preparing all your fresh vegetables. Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly and place them in a large salad bowl.

    Add the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and bell pepper to the greens.

      Carefully dice the avocado and fold it into the salad to add creaminess without mashing it.

        Add the rinsed chickpeas for protein and fiber, then sprinkle in the thinly sliced red onion and chopped cilantro or parsley for flavor and freshness.

          In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if using.

            Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is well combined and coated.

              If desired, sprinkle feta cheese or nutritional yeast over the top for added flavor.

                Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour for flavors to meld before serving.
