A colorful platter of raw or cooked vegetables, grains, and proteins is a joy! Some might shun on a salad and I understand why. We grew up eating cooked food showered with various spices or masalas, deep-fried or sauteed sometimes. And especially a hardcore meatatarian finds it as an arduous task to finish his salad meal (including myself😶). To encourage or motivate me and fellow foodies to consume salads, I've added chicken to it 😋. I hope it will help you to eat a hearty rainbow meal! This worked for me.
So, why salads? why are they important?
- Salads are nutritious, colorful and we know colorful foods are good for our health.
- They spend less time on the stove in case of cooked veggies, hence there's less nutrient loss.
- Nutrition supports health. In some cases, it may help fight early-stage diseases.
- Salads can be made wholesome.
