Going along with the article I posted last week, "My Workout Routine," I wanted to continue that health topic by sharing the recipe I use for making salads. I try to eat salad at least every other day, as it makes me feel healthy and I feel good knowing that what I am consuming is good for me. So, here is the salad that I make and consume weekly.
Ingredients:
1. Spinach, mixed greens, or kale
2. White mushrooms
3. Grape tomatoes
4. Baby carrots
5. One cucumber
6. One avocado
7. Pre-cooked chicken
8. One or two kiwis
9. Balsamic vinaigrette and olive oil (you can use a different dressing or no dressing as well)
Procedure:
1. Wash the amount of greens that you are going to consume, dry them, and place them in your salad bowl.
2. Wash your mushrooms, tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, avocado, and kiwis. Using a cutting board and knife, slice the mushrooms, halve the tomatoes, slice the carrots, and slice your cucumber to a size you are satisfied with and add them to your greens.
3. After adding the vegetables to your salad, slice up your avocado and kiwis and place them in the salad bowl.
4. Cut up your pre-cooked chicken and add that to the bowl as well.
5. To top off your salad, add the amount of olive oil and vinegar (or any other dressing you are using) that you are satisfied with.
6. Toss your salad, and enjoy!
