Cleveland Clinic’s overview of really cool, nutritious, and tasty salad assembly is mostly my kind of document. It suggests alternatives to traditional salad ingredients and explains their benefits. It also explains some of the things to watch out for in traditional ingredients, and it doesn’t say anything about losing weight.

 

I now have some ideas for interesting salad ingredients based on this list…

 

• Kale mix
• Peapods
• Soybeans
• Red onion
• Beets
• Avocado
• Chicken
• Hard-boiled eggs
• Raw sweet potatoes
• Olive oil and balsamic for dressing

 

 

I now want to make a salad with kale, peapods, soybeans, hard-boiled eggs, raw sweet potatoes, and balsamic and olive oil for dressing.

 

Notable ingredients to use in greater moderation than I have been include the following:

 

 

• Cheese
• Peas
• Croutons
• Raisins
• Cashews
