I'm trying to lose weight and...?We Answered:
well first off, the tastiest and lightest dressing I know of is just plain balsamic vinegar..Things to put into a salad:
-cucumber
-tomatoes
-avocados have great nutritional value(make sure to not put too much of this because it does have fat in it)
-chickpeas
-kidney beans
-sun dried tomatoes
-onions
-green onions
- fat free feta cheese (crumbled is good for salads)
- grilled chicken
- bell pepper
- tuna,or any fish (salmon is higher in fat)
- black beans
- ground turkey
- grilled eggplant
- hard boiled egg whites for protein( the egg yolk has the nutrients, but also all of the fat)
Also, if you like tuna, you can have a high protein- low fat tuna salad with these ingredients:
-light tuna chunck
-fat free mayo (it's sweeter than normal mayo)
- dried cranberries ( try to get the ones that don't have added sugar)
- green onions
Mash the tuna and then add all of the ingredients in amounts to your liking and there ya go!!!
I hope that some of these sparked your interest!!
