Salads

Salad, a great meal choice

It’s wrong to state that a salad isn’t good enough as a meal. In fact, when well prepared, it can provide the same energy as any other dish known as more complete. Salads are definitely a big step to fight overweight or just for those who are looking for a healthy lifestyle. Bellow we give you some hints on how to prepare nutritive, healthy, delicious salads!

• Mix some dried fruits (nuts, almonds, peanuts, pinions) with vegetables (lettuce, watercress, arugula, cucumber, tomato, courgette, radish).

• If you are going to eat a salad before sleeping, avoid ingredients as potato and pasta – they are too heavy when it’s time to sleep. However, if it’s lunch break, you will need the extra-energy to keep yourself active during a work day.

• You can always mix in your salad some fresh cheese, some fruits (as apple, mango, pear) and cereals (as oat, chia or sesame flakes). They all can break vegetable flavors and contribute to diversify dish colors and tastes.

• Instead of sauce, choose olive oil and vinegar (or lemon juice).

We suggest you to have it along with a light white or rosé wine, which will go perfectly with the salad’s freshness and flavors.
