3. A Filling GREEN SALAD

If you think salads are for rabbits, you haven't met the right one yet. A few tips: Use fresh vegetables — anything canned should be an add-on, not the main event, or you'll end up with a soggy, sad salad. Add a little bit of protein like meat, eggs, beans, nuts, if you want the salad to be a full meal. Make sure you give yourself a good mix of crunchy ingredients, like raw cabbage, cucumber or nuts, and soft ones, like tomatoes, cooked vegetables or beans. The most important step is to make your own delicious (and healthier) homemade dressing. A simple Dijon vinaigrette always works, but feel free to try something more adventurous, too. If you're looking for a full recipe to get inspired, try this kale and Brussels sprout salad or this Asian chicken salad.
