• The healthiest snacks to fill you up without resorting to junk food

If you are one of those who thinks

of salad

and only imagines a bowl full of lettuce, cherry tomatoes, tuna, croutons and mayonnaise, unfortunately you are outdated.

Now is the time to update yourself and learn about the benefits that salads can bring to your daily diet, because they have them, and they are many.

On the other hand, we insist: it is also a dish that is

tremendously versatile

and adaptable to

all kinds of tastes

and preferences.

What are the benefits of eating salad daily

The great advantage

of salads is that thanks to them your body will absorb many vitamins, minerals and beneficial substances for your body.

They are "a perfect dish, ideal for not gaining weight, and

very nutritious

if the right ingredients are mixed," confirms

Adriana Oroz,

an expert in Dietetics.

In any of these five salad ideas you can find foods with a positive impact on your health.

Another relevant benefit for those who find it difficult to consume the recommended amount of water per day, or in especially hot times such as summer, is that salads

provide hydration

.

And, for practical purposes, they are

very quick and easy

to make, so they can be an ideal resource for people without much time to invest in the kitchen.

A good salad, according to Adriana Oroz, should contain:

fresh

and seasonal vegetables (cannon, asparagus, peppers, broccoli),

protein

(meat, legumes, tofu),

carbohydrates

(rice, pasta, potato) and

healthy fats

(fruits nuts, avocado, olives).

You can also add fresh fruit and spices.

This will be the basis of a nutritious salad.

As can be seen, the possibilities in terms of the combination of ingredients are almost endless.

What can be added to the salad that is not fattening?

If the salad is intended to help during a

weight loss

process , the ingredients will have to be controlled more carefully, but that does not mean that you cannot continue enjoying rich dishes without going hungry.

The nutritionist

Marta Vallejo

recommends a substitution technique, that is, exchanging food for its

less fatty version

: vegetables instead of pasta or rice, avocado instead of bacon, fresh cheese instead of goat cheese, yogurt for sauces, corn better than olives, among others.

The important thing is to learn to choose each food to achieve

a balanced dish

that adequately fulfills its beneficial function for the body and that is satiating.

"Salads are one of the best options if you want to eat well, in a healthy and nutritious way. It's just a matter of

knowing how to mix the ingredients

so that the dish is as complete as possible," explains nutritionist María Rodríguez.
