When it comes to salads most of us think of that little dish that comes with lettuce, some veggies, cheese and dressing we have before our main meal.
Others see abig salad bar with all the fixings.
The good news is that these are not the only ways to enjoy a salad any more. Why not make your next salad the main course of your meal?
Salads have come a long way now that more of us are trying to eat in a more healthy way. Main course salads have become a hit and people are finding ways to make these salads a delightful treat. They’re simple to throw together and can fill up any stomach – no matter how big it might be.
These main course salads can be served in many different ways. Use a salad plate or a pretty, decorative salad bowl.
Taco salad bowls are also a great base for your salads. You can find them in almost any grocery store and they don’t have to be filled with just taco fillings. Pita bread or taco shells can also be used to make a great main course salad base.
Most main course salads start with lettuce. Whether you’re fixing a vegetable salad or a meat enhanced salad, lettuce is the perfect filler.
On the other hand, if you’re making a pasta salad with some shrimp or tuna you can still use lettuce leave as a bed for the salad.
The main thing to remember is that a salad bar, or salad, can be unhealthy if you add too much cheese, cream-based dressings, nuts, or mayonaisse to your tuna, chicken, or egg salad. Just because it is a salad does not mean it is instantly healthy for you. And salad bars can be a danger because you are hungry and get dazzled by the array of seemingly healthy ingredients.
