Fit and trim: Tailor-made salad

The advantage of making a mixed salad is that you can hit all the necessary food groups in one single dish. Start with a starch, such as white rice, plain pasta or boiled potatoes. Add some seasonal vegetables: diced tomatoes, sliced cucumber, chopped bell pepper, etc. Add your protein: cubed ham, hard-boiled eggs or diced grilled chicken. Then top with the dressing of your choice: yogurt vinaigrette, honey mustard, balsamic vinegar and oil, grapeseed oil, pesto sauce, etc. Don't hesitate to add fresh cilantro leaves, basil chiffonade, garlic powder or chopped nuts for added flair. Finish your meal with a ripe seasonal fruit.
