Ideas to Make Your Salad Sexier!

How sexy is your salad?

We all need to eat more greens.

Period.

Even those of us who eat a lot of greens can benefit from adding more into our daily diets. Spring is a great time of year to start eating more raw and cleansing foods. This helps detox the body from the heavier foods eaten during cold weather.

Here are some of Greenlight's favorite ideas for spicing up your green salad.....we suggest you add your own spin- be creative!

  • black olives, green peppers, feta cheese (drizzled with lemon vinaigrette)
  • cherry tomatoes, roasted corn, toasted sunflower seeds (drizzled with red wine vinaigrette)
  • dried cranberries, toasted pumpkin seeds, goat cheese (drizzled with sherry vinaigrette)
  • sliced tomato, basil, fresh mozzarella (drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette)
  • granny smith apple, toasted pecans, Parmesan cheese (drizzled with cider vinaigrette)
  • roasted beets, orange slices, toasted walnuts (drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette)
  • avocado, sliced carrot, red pepper, pico de gallo (drizzled with chili lime vinaigrette)
  • carrots, scallions, snow peas, shredded cabbage, sesame seeds (drizzled with ginger vinaigrette)

Our suggestion:
think outside the green box and get your sexy salad on!
