Salad Dreams You May Enjoy

I always use my imagination to get delicious salad ideas. You won't believe your eyes when you find out all the ingredients you have available to prepare your salad. I enjoy so much a healthy salad and I think you too.

I like to mix differents ingredients to taste their flavor together. I usually prepare my salad with cold ingredients that I combine with a warm ingredient to spice any flavor I want.

It is true that we have lots of salad dressings available at the supermarket, but sometimes it's faster, healthier and less expensive to make our own dressing. For example, my son loves ketchup, so sometimes I mix a spoon of sugar free or low sugar ketchup with a spoon of low fat mayonnaise, as result I'll have a tasty and quick salad dressing for my son's salad.

There are excellent salad ideas for you to enjoy. Here are some:

Hard boiled eggs, sliced or chopped
Green or black olives, whole or sliced
Any kind of low fat cheese, shredded, sliced or chopped
Green peas, beans or any cooked legume vegetable
Corn (I really like sweet corn kernels)
Sour cream or mayonnaise (low fat for a healthier salad)
Ham, turkey, salami or chicken; baked, smoked, sliced or how you preffer
Pasta
Tuna or salmon, smoked or baked
Carrots, beets, potatoes, etc.
Bacon (I love it!)
Tropical fruits like pineapple, mandarines, oranges, mangoes
Dried fruits

Vegetables are a must in our every day meals. I have to invent new and fun ways for my kids to eat their greens. Oscar loves salads and my Jose, well, he's starting the toddler years. Right now I'm teaching him to eat all my meals, so salads will be one of his favorites.
