Toss like a boss: Top tips for 5-star salads ⭐️🥗

Published 6 months ago • 2 min read

Hello, salad lovers!

Whether you’re a fan of grains, greens, pasta, beans or the salads I call “The In-Betweens,” here are my Top 5 Tips for 5-Star Salads!
​
​1. Get the tools of the trade:

  • A razor-sharp zester for lemon and lime zest and for grating ginger root and Parmesan. (I'm a big fan of OXO products).
  • A citrus squeezer for fresh juice.
  • And a sharp knife and cutting board.

Those are my salad-making must-haves.

2. Mix up your greens, and don’t settle for just iceberg and romaine. Try spring mix, kale, baby spinach, arugula and even shaved brussels sprouts.
​
And OTHER sprouts! Broccoli sprouts, pea shoots, etc.

3. Make it a meal!

4. Dress for success! Ditch those dull store-bought dressings and whip up your own masterpieces. Salads4lunch.com is overflowing with dressing ideas.
​
Stock up on a variety of oils and vinegars and you’ll be ready to whisk your way to salad heaven.

  • Salad needs more salt or pepper? Add it!
  • Prefer it spicier? Add some minced jalapeno.
  • Like your dressing tangier? All y’all could add more vinegar or lemon juice.

Salad success is now in your hands! So go forth and toss like a boss!

Eat fresh,
Janice 💚
