Summer is just around the corner, and what better way to enjoy the warm weather than with a delicious and refreshing salad? Not only are salads a great way to stay healthy, but they’re also perfect for keeping you cool during the hot summer days. To help you step up your salad game this season, here are five things you can add to your salad to make it more exciting and flavourful:
- Fresh Berries: Summer is the perfect time to incorporate fresh berries into your salads. Whether it’s juicy strawberries, sweet raspberries, or tangy blueberries, these fruits add a burst of flavour and nutrition to your salad.
- Grilled Courgette and Aubergine: Adding grilled courgette and aubergine to your salad is a great way to add some smoky flavor and texture. Simply grill them until they’re tender and slightly charred, then toss them with your favorite greens and dressing.
- Nuts and Seeds: Adding nuts and seeds to your salad provides a satisfying crunch and a good source of healthy fats and protein. Try adding almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds to your salad for some added nutrition.
- Fresh Coriander: Fresh coriander is a great way to add some flavor and fragrance to your salad. Simply chop it up and sprinkle it over your greens for a fresh and zesty taste.
- Grilled Chicken or Tofu: For an added protein boost, grilled chicken or tofu is a great addition to your summer salad. Marinate your chicken or tofu in your favorite spices and grill until cooked through, then toss with some fresh greens and your favourite dressing for a satisfying and complete meal.
