Nutritious Green Salad

Recipe, Sides

This Nutritious Green Salad is one of my absolute favourites and one I prepare at least once a week at my house. I serve it as side dish at BBQ’s or as a main dish with some added protein.

It’s hard to resist this salad’s simplicity. And the best part is, you can add or subtract just about anything you like and make this simple salad anything you want.

Ingredients

1/4 green capsicum finely sliced
1 celery stick finely sliced
1/4 green cabbage finely sliced
2 handfuls mixed salad greens
I large shallot finely sliced
1 T black sesame seeds or white
2 T pepitas

Method

In a large bowl mix the greens together, then sprinkle the sesame seeds & pepitas on top. Just before serving squeeze 1/2 lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine.

Serving Suggestions

Great served with Chilli Spiced Chicken Bites!

Final Thoughts

Be Well

Need some help with healthy eating?

When planning for the week, I think about:

2-3 breakfast options I like
A few entrees that could double as dinner or lunch
A couple smoothie ideas that have complimentary ingredients to give you variety with your greens
A snack option like homemade protein muffins or an easy to make trail mix for days you’re just hungrier and want a little more to eat.
Round out your plan with a couple of staple sides that you would like to have on hand daily like a big mixed greens salad and some rice, quinoa or easy to grab sweet potato chunks…

……and then make your grocery list around that.
