Are you looking to cook healthy salads this summer, so that you can lose weight and be healthier? The good news is that usually, vegetables salads are healthy by themselves. They become unhealthy when people start adding dressings to them.
Many dressings add many calories to salads, and make the whole salads not very healthy. A good example here are potato salads. Potato salads with potatoes, onions, celery, parsley, dill, and other vegetables could be healthy and delicious. However, once you start piling in the dressing, made with lots of mayonnaise, or sour cream, you dramatically increase the number of calories in the potato salad.
But this doesn’t mean that you can’t have a delicious salad dressing for your salad, if you want to make a salad with fewer calories. There are lots of ways to add flavor to salads. Herbs are great — parsley, dill, cilantro, basil and other herbs add lots of flavor without adding the calories. You can make your salads spicier by adding onions, again, adding more flavor, but not calories.
And you can start making your own homemade dressings, with vinegars, herbs and oils.
