5 Tips for Making Better Salads

Could your salads use an upgrade? Here are our top tips for making them flavorful and filling — try them out and you may even be able to convince someone that’s not a salad fan to love them! You can also watch our salad tips video here to see them in action!

 

🍚 1. Add a grain to make it more hearty! Quinoa, rice, or soba noodles are all great options.

 

🥜 2. Incorporate different flavors and textures! Try adding nuts, seeds, kraut, kimchi, or pickled or roasted veggies to add some dimension and crunch to your bowl.

🍯 3. Make a homemade dressing! It’s a lot easier than you think and makes *such* a difference — even with just a few simple ingredients!

🥣 4. Mix together everything using a large mixing bowl (this might be the most important tip — trust us!) It makes it so much easier to combine and have your dressing fully coat all of the ingredients for maximum flavor.

🌿 5. Add fresh herbs! They give salads a burst of fresh flavor. Cilantro, parsley, and dill are all great to sprinkle on top or mix into a dressing!
