Okay,
So you need a way to get your five servings of vegetables in and have no idea how to do it. You may for some reason think that salad is not a good way to get them in, but you'd be wrong. Think about it, most salads consist of lettuce, and you can use more than one type of lettuce in your salad, for instance, romaine lettuce and sweet butter lettuce which brings your total so far to 2!!! Woohooo! LOL Then you could add tomatoes, don't laugh that brings you to 3! Then some diced onion or shallots which is a milder type of onion and you have 4! You can then add some blanched broccoli or cauliflower to some already boiling water in a colander {a metal one, not plastic} for about 5-10 seconds and then put in a bowl of ice to stop the cooking process this brings you to 5!!!! What you say, I've got five, yes you now have 5, lolol.
Since this is a salad we're talking about, the sky is the limit. You can add some cooked corn, some matchstick carrots, or baby carrots, you can add whatever your favorite (vegetable) salad ingredients are to make sure that you get in your 5 for that day. And think about this in one large salad or one medium sized salad, you can get all 5 of the daily recommended servings of vegetables and if you don't really like veggies, then you're done for the day!
Now I'm not going to explain to you how to make a salad, I'm just going to suggest that you get creative and add some color, lots of color to your salad. Even add some fruit if you like, make it really pretty and colorful, don't be afraid just use your imagination and go for it!
Let me know what you come up with and enjoy your salad creations!
Much love,
J
