A great salad starts with greens—but it doesn’t have to stop there. 🥗

Add protein such as cooked shrimp, sardines, chicken, tofu, beans or lentils. Bring in color with tomatoes, cucumber and other vegetables you enjoy. Add a little crunch with pumpkin seeds or nuts, and finish with olive oil and lemon juice or vinegar.

Beans and lentils add fiber as well as protein. Rotate your ingredients for a wider variety of nutrients and flavors. What’s your favorite salad protein?
