Salads are a terrific dish to pass successfully the 21 days.
They are satisfying; You can combine different tastes and foods, and they won’t take all your protein portions.
In fact, you can have great salads with zero protein portion. So you keep those portions for other meals.
Nuts, Avocado, and Salads
Many nuts provide salads with a satisfying taste and filling. Walnuts and pecans, for example.
Pay attention to which nuts are in the “Eat Freely” category and which you should eat in restriction. They are not the same.
You can add seeds from “eat-in restrictions” too.
Avocado is another fantastic addition to salads. You can add as much as you want. And it won’t take from your protein portions.
Sauces, Dressings, and Ordering Out
Whenever you order salad outside, ALWAYS ask to remove any dressings and ask to only put olive oil and lemon.
You can add as much olive oil and avocado oil as you want. It’s in the “eat freely” category. I like olive oil in glass containers over plastic containers.
Remember not to add oils outside of the challenge, such as canola oil or sunflower oil.
There are other sauces you can add: tahini paste, Tabasco, tamari, etc. These will add another taste to your salads.
Condiments
There’s no limit to the number of condiments you can add. These will give an additional taste to your salads.
For example, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cumin, basil, oregano, fennel, masala, ginger, garlic, vinegar, mustard powder. And don’t forget lemon and lime.
Commercial Sauces
It’s worth noting you’ll find in the shopping list commercial sauces that I checked and approved.
For example, even though mustard sauces and mayonnaise are outside of the challenge, I’ve found a company you can order and won’t hurt the repair of sugar damage. You won’t have them in restaurants, but you can still add them at home to your salads (or takeaway salads).
Salad Recipes
I put some salad recipes and include the protein portion in each. Check it out in the recipe section.
Splash your salads.
And keep up the good work!
