Salad Recipe FAQs
What do I put in a salad?
Typically, you can include a mix of leafy greens (like lettuce, spinach), vegetables (such as tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots), proteins (like grilled chicken, tofu, beans), fruits (optional), nuts or seeds, and dressing.
How many calories in a salad?
Caloric content varies widely depending on ingredients and dressing. A basic salad with leafy greens and vegetables can range from 50 to 200 calories. Adding protein, cheese, nuts, or high-calorie dressings can increase it significantly, but this can make it so much more nutritious and satisfying.
Is salad good for you?
Yes, salads can be a nutritious choice, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and fibre. However, it depends on ingredients and portion sizes.
What is a Greek salad?
A Greek salad typically includes ingredients like tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, olives, and feta cheese, dressed with olive oil, oregano, and sometimes lemon juice or vinegar.
What can I serve with salad?
Salad pairs well with various dishes, such as grilled meats, sandwiches and soups, or as a side with pasta or rice dishes.
How do I keep salad fresh?
Store salad ingredients separately in airtight containers, keeping leafy greens dry and crisp by adding a paper towel to absorb excess moisture. The dressing should be added just before serving.
How long does salad last in the fridge?
Generally, a prepared salad will last 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator if stored properly in an airtight container. However, greens may wilt sooner, so it's best to add dressing just before eating to maintain freshness.
