You need the fibres, you need the vitamins and you need the freshness... you need a raw salad, nothing boiled, nothing 'enriched' with mayo...just plain crunchiness of fresh vegetables...
But sometimes can get boring...for me at least...
So what is to be done, without using additives and taste enhancers (chemicals as I call them)?
After going in circles for a few good weeks, while my intake of raws decreased alarmingly, the solutions jumped into my face: Pickles Avenue :-)
Use some salad leaves - whatever combination you prefer (or have in the fridge)...
Some cherry tomatoes - they taste better to me than the normal ones...
Take a few and just halve them..
then add some cheese - for protein -
A few cubes ...
Now the salad looks like this...
Maybe you want some meat protein instead of the cheese one... just go with something light, but tasty..
...and the salad now...
...Now the pickles .... a few as you wish of any of these ...its totally up to your taste, imagination and daring... artichokes, mixed mushrooms...
..some olives... I always add olives... because I am using no longer a dressing, the sourness of the olives takes the place of the vinegar ....
......
you must spoil yourself with some sundried tomatoes...and grilled aubergines maybe...
...add two slices of wholegrain multiseeds toast - for extra crunchiness and lovely smokey aroma ...and thats you , ready with a lovely salad - yummi and low-GL as it can be....
Enjoy!
