Salad as a main course: a great idea for summer!
Salads can be eaten as a main course. But to avoid post-meal cravings, you should opt for a nutritionally balanced salad.
As a reminder, a balanced meal is a meal that consists of: three main food groups: one-quarter protein, one-quarter carbohydrates, and one-half vegetables (fiber). Not forgetting lipids, ideally unsaturated fats.
Contrary to what you might believe, a salad can bring together all these nutrients.
For vegetables you have the choice: tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, corn, carrots, peppers…
For protein, you can add to your salad:cold chicken, tuna, sardines, eggs or even cheese (feta, mozzarella, cubes of Emmental, Gouda, etc.).
As for the carbohydrate portion, it can be provided by legumes (lentils, chickpeas, etc.), quinoa, bulgur, rice or cold pasta (ideally complete or semi-complete).
In a salad, the fat intake often comes from the dressing. Choose vegetable oils rich in omega 3: olive oil, flaxseed oil, walnut oil, rapeseed oil… Avocado is also an excellent source of good fat.
You can also add pieces of fruit to your salads. Like vegetables, they provide fiber, vitamins and minerals.
