Start with your dressing on the bottom. Make your own dressing with olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or herbs. This keeps some of the nasties out of your food that commercial dressings often come with.
Make sure you have a green salad base, like romaine lettuce, arugula, kale, spinach, or a spring mix.
Add some nuts, beans, or seeds. Pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts, quinoa, chickpeas, and sunflower seeds work great!
Vegetables such as radishes, celery, cucumbers, bell peppers, and carrots add colorful phytonutrients to your meal.
Got a fridge at work? Pack in the protein with shrimp, eggs, chicken, or steak!
