Salad recipes

A light yet tasty chickpea salad is made with carrot, chickpea, scallions and parsley, tossed with cider vinegar, a bit yogurt and basil. It's a refreshing salad that can be stuffed in the pita bread, or accompany any main course.

This dish was pretty easy to prepare and turned out beautifully. The potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes, and olives created a wonderful medley of flavors.

Sweet and sour apples, crunchy and savory celeries, nutty and salty peanuts, and a lemon-dijon dressing make a delicious, light yet refreshing salad.

Tomatoes are packed with lycopene, an antioxidant that helps prevent heart disease and cancer. They are a good source of vitamin C as well as vitamin E to help protect the body from oxidative damage. Cucumbers provide anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits. Capsicum is a great source of beta-carotene which is an antioxidant and precursor to vitamin A, helping to promote vision and support reproduction, growth as well as a healthy immune system. Olives are antioxidant powerhouses and contain anti-inflammatory compounds, known for their role in preventing coronary artery disease.

This is a very light salad. One serving provides you with 60% of the Daily Value (DV) for vitamin C, 56% DV for protein, 53% DV for vitamin K and 44% DV for folate. Good for health!

I love this salad, simple and easy, a good accompaniment for a meat dish.
