Top 10 dietary salads / Recipes and tips for proper nutrition – an article from the “Healthy Eating” section on Food.ru

5 dietary salad rules

People who diet for a long time are well versed in the calorie content of foods. But if you want to lose weight for the first time, it’s not easy to navigate the variety of diets.

Some people eat only greens so as not to fill their heads with recipes and cooking. But you don’t have to eat just lettuce to lose weight!

To prepare light diet salads, you need to know a few basic rules:

  1. No need to invent something new – you can optimize your favorite recipes by removing high-calorie ingredients from them. For example, in the diet “Caesar” there should not be white bread crackers. If you can’t live without them, choose a low-calorie bread.

  2. Remove everything fried and smoked from the composition of the dish, replacing it with boiled. The only exception is cobb: a salad of grilled vegetables.

  3. Choose the right dressing – don’t skimp on the dressing and chew dry chopped vegetables. Mayonnaise can be helpful: there are vegan recipes that are great for a diet.

  4. Combine products. Eat not only low-calorie and fiber-rich foods, but also those that contain vitamins and minerals. You do not need hunger, but a reasonable balance of substances in order to lose weight.

  5. Observe the main condition of dietary nutrition: salad should be preceded by the main course in order to whet the appetite and fill the stomach with the first, light food. The rule of the hand does not apply to greens, but still remember: even healthy food should not be too much in volume.

Top 10 dietary salads

1. Vitamin salad

The simplest and fastest salad is sliced ​​greens with the addition of a quail egg. The cooking time is 7 minutes, and the calorie content is almost minimal. The egg in it is needed not only for decoration, but also for balancing the taste. In addition, a quail egg contains 2-3 times more vitamin A, B and B2 than a chicken egg, as well as iron, potassium and phosphorus. With such an additive in a salad, you will get nutritional support and fortification.

2. Broom

Healthy and lean dish. Combining vitamins, trace elements and fiber, this salad cleanses the stomach and intestines. And this is the first step in any business, including weight loss. The classic recipe consists of beets, carrots, cabbage, apples and seasoned with vegetable oil. There are many options for this salad, so you can eat it every day. The broom is complemented by cranberries, pomegranate seeds, walnuts. And cabbage can be sauerkraut. Native superfood will definitely help you lose weight and gain vitamins.

3. Fruit and vegetable salad

Have you ever tried fruit and vegetable salad? You will not regret! Below you will find a step-by-step recipe with a photo, thanks to which you get a low-calorie, but rich in vitamins and sweetness dish. It can be a breakfast, and a snack before dinner, and a snack. But remember: when losing weight, you can eat fruits, but still only in the morning, so that they have time to digest by night.

4. Greek

Greek is a classic dietary salad. With a low calorie content (from 100 to 200 kcal per 100 g), the dish is balanced in nutrients, rich in protein and calcium contained in cheese. Plus, the salad is delicious. You can try a similar variant of Shopska salad from Bulgaria, where feta is replaced by brynza. You might like this version – a detailed recipe with video can be found below.

5. Poke with cereals

One of the mistakes in losing weight is the rejection of cereals, especially rice. The logic is clear: cereals are often high in calories, and rice contains a lot of starch, the amount of which should be reduced on a diet. But it would be wrong to lose sight of one of the healthiest, most nutritious and light grains – quinoa: a storehouse of vitamins, gluten-free and gives dishes a special, slightly crunchy taste. A fantastically easy and healthy recipe for quinoa poke salad is waiting for you below – take note of it.

6. Diet vinaigrette

A traditional homemade recipe contains approximately 200 kcal per 100 g of product. Not so much, right? But still it is worth remembering: herring and other salted fish are not very good for weight loss. Excess salt and spices retain moisture in the body: weight does not fall, swelling may occur. But vinaigrette without herring, but with mushrooms and potatoes, is an ideal diet dish. You can replace potatoes or mushrooms with boiled pumpkin: the calorie content will be lower, and the benefits will be greater.

7. Poultry salad

Chicken or turkey, boiled or baked, is one of the key products of a sports or health diet. Why not make a light diet salad with poultry? Delicious, filling and not greasy. Please note: the recipe below contains mayonnaise, but the dish contains less than 100 kcal per 100 g. It combines fish, olives, lettuce, vegetables, chicken or quail eggs. A delicate and balanced dish that will decorate not only the dietary diet, but also the festive table.

9. Crab

Delicious crab salad is one of the best diet meals. Fiber from vegetables, vitamins, protein and nutrients from crab meat, the freshness of a cucumber – you can open a meal with a dish and have a hearty lunch. The recipe below contains mayonnaise, but if you decide not to use it, you can use mashed avocado. It goes great with seafood and adds potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and manganese.

10. Meat

Do you think that meat salads are not about proper nutrition? No matter how! There are meat salads that are not higher in calories than ordinary vegetable salads. It’s all about the combination of ingredients and the right choice of meat. So, lean beef mixed with pickled cucumbers and oil and herb dressing will not add extra centimeters to the waist. It will make a perfect lunch or dinner. And the recipe described below will not take you more than 30 minutes.

What can be done?

Review the salads that you eat most often: determine which high-calorie ingredients in them can be replaced with less high-calorie ones or removed altogether. And then fantasize for your pleasure and for the benefit of a healthy diet.

Slimming Fruit Salad

Here, sour cream will be used as a sauce, which will make the salad more tender and even more healthy. If you are on a diet now, then be sure to try making a fruit salad recipe to make sure we are right.

What you need for a dietary fruit salad:

  • 1 apricot;
  • 1 apple;
  • 30 ml sour cream;
  • 1 pear;
  • 5 grams of honey;
  • 1/4 lemon;
  • 1 peach.

Dietary fruit salad recipe:

  1. Wash the apricot, cut it in half, remove the stone and chop the pulp.
  2. Wash apples, peel and cut into cubes.
  3. Pear, too, washed, peeled and cut into any size and shape.
  4. Wash the peach, peel if desired and cut the fruit into two parts.
  5. Remove the stone, cut the peach into cubes.
  6. Wash the lemon, remove the zest from it with a fine grater and squeeze out the juice.
  7. Remove pits from juice, if necessary.
  8. Mix apricot, pear, apples and peach.
  9. Add honey to fruits, pour over juice and give sour cream.
  10. Mix ingredients and sprinkle with lemon zest.

Tip: to choose good, natural honey, you need to know how to do it right. To do this, remember that:

  • when wound on a spoon, honey will not become homogeneous, it will form a ribbon;
  • high-quality honey is heavy – that is, a liter of the product can weigh one and a half kilograms;
  • if honey flows easily and quickly, it is not natural or diluted with water;
  • real honey will turn into sugar in 5-6 months;
  • honey cannot have foam, and if there is, this is a sign of an already fermented product;
  • Quite often, dead bees, grass or wax pieces are added to the product to create a “naturalness”;
  • sometimes sellers add chalk to honey to make their product thicker and give the appearance of a natural product. To check this, just drop a little vinegar on the product and if there is chalk in the composition, the honey will start to hiss like soda;
  • when buying honey in a store, you can be sure that it is artificially created from molasses or glucose – liquid, light and appetizing. Everything here is designed for a hungry buyer.

Diet fruit salad

Mint can not only refresh the salad with its taste and aroma, but also make it brighter, thanks to its deep color. A little syrup to give the juicy fruit salad a touch of sweetness and you’ll be ready to diet all the time to make this dish for yourself!

  • 2 sprigs of mint;
  • 1 bunch of green grapes;

How to assemble a dietary fruit salad:

  3. Wash the grapes, remove the grapes from the bunch, cut into two parts.
  4. If there are seeds inside, they must be removed.

At the same time, it is important to cover the container with a lid or at least a plate so that the plums are well steamed and swollen. After the time has elapsed, drain the water, rinse the dried fruits and dry them. Then you can already use it for its intended purpose, but it is also desirable to rid them of the bones.

Tip: When choosing cottage cheese, be sure to know how to choose a fresh product of the highest quality.

  • remember that cottage cheese can be stored no more than 72 hours from the moment of its “birth”. That is, three days, no more;
  • color can vary from pure white to cream. Too yellow tint will indicate the presence of dyes or that the product has been stored longer than it can be stored;
  • try a piece, you should feel the sourness. If it is not there, then the cottage cheese is made of poor quality, quickly;
  • if the product, on the contrary, is too sour or even sweet, then, most likely, citric acid or sugar was added to it in order to “buy” the buyer with a pleasant taste;
  • often sellers add starch to increase the volume of the product and sell more expensively, because the starch swells. Unfortunately, this can only be determined at home. If you drop a little iodine on cottage cheese, it will turn blue;
  • when buying a product in a store, be sure to choose a package where the date is more “fresh”.
