Lately I have been loving salads and I am in the process of
ensuring that I eat more salads in my meals all throughout the week. There are
so many types of salads that you can make. For instance; Garden salads use a
base of leafy greens like lettuce, arugula, kale or spinach. Other types
include bean salad, tuna salad, fattoush, Greek salad, and Japanese sōmen salad
(a noodle-based salad). The sauce used to flavor a salad is commonly called a
salad dressing; well-known types include ranch, Thousand Island, and
vinaigrette. Salads can be served at any point during a meal. This means that
we have different salads for different times of the meals. There are Appetizer
salads, light, smaller portion-salads to stimulate the appetite as the first
course of the meal. Side salads, to accompany the main course as a side dish. Main
course salads, usually containing a portion of a protein food, such as chicken
breast, salmon, legumes, cheese or slices of beef. Dessert salads, sweet
versions containing fruit (alone as in a fruit salad or mixed with other
ingredients), gelatin, sweeteners or whipped cream. Today I made a delicious cucumber salad that would go great for grilled vegetables, meat, chicken, seafood and even on its own.
