Move over Meatloaf – Salad’s Center Stage Tonight Part 2

Go ahead and add those veggies to your main course salad. Cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, onions and mushrooms are the perfect main course salad enhancers.

 

The more fresh veggies you can pack in the better. You can’t go wrong when it comes to vegetables, and if they taste good to you, throw them in.   

 

Lettuce and veggies aren’t enough to fill really hungry stomachs, however. For that you need protein, and a bit of fat. Chopped, sliced or diced meats such as pork, beef or chicken can be added to your salads to make them tastier and more filling as well.

 

Turkey, ham or seafood such as shrimp can also be a great addition. Additions such as meat and eggs will give your salad some added protein and will enhance the flavor as well.

 

Don’t forget those toppers. Nuts, seeds, bacon bits and croutons are always a hit when it comes to creating a salad. Your main course salad should be no exception. Add some cheese and sliced hard boiled eggs for even more substance to your salad.  Just remember that nut can pack on pounds if you are not careful.

 

Main course salads can be made with Mexican or Asian fixings as well. Add some chow mien noodles and more to give the salad an Oriental flare. Don’t forget your dressing. There are a vast amount of flavorful dressings available these days to top any great salad.

 

Salads don’t have to be what was once known as rabbit food anymore. Have fun creating your main course salads and remember to let your taste buds and health consciousness lead the way.
