Do you know how to make a salad? Of course you do! That fucking boring and dull salad that you always do. Where’s the innovation? Where’s the creativity? Where’s the variety?
Call all your friends and family, tell them that you’re going to invite them for dinner and that you’ll make a personalised salad for everyone. Shht! Stop with the excuses, salads are the most inexpensive, easy and quick meals to do.
If you want to eat a healthy -and beautiful- salad, you should choose ingredients with different colours. Each colour has specific properties that will help you extend your mediocre life, yay! If you wanna know more about it do your fucking research, cause I’ve already done mine.
- Pick at least three different colours and you’ll be good to go. If you want to get the cool shot that’ll make you look healthy and cool you’ll need to add all five. And yes, you can repeat colours but don’t make a fucking yellow salad ’cause not even colour-blind people are gonna eat it!
- GREEN (leaves): kale, spinach, lettuce, rocket, lamb’s lettuce, watercress…
- GREEN (others): avocado, green pepper, apple, cucumber, courgette…
- RED: tomato, red pepper, beetroot, strawberries, pomegranate…
- ORANGE/YELLOW: carrot, corn, yellow peppers, mango, orange, pineapple…
- WHITE: onion, pear, leek, parsnip, ginger…
- PURPLE: aubergine, red onion (it’s not fucking red!), red cabbage (again, really?), grapes, figs…
- You can also add some toppings like nuts, olives, meat/fish (chicken, bacon, sardines), cheese (feta, mozzarella, goat’s, brie), croutons, etc.
- If you wanna have one of those Instagram-approved salads, you MUST add some seeds to it. Chia, linseed, hemp (keep the rolling paper in your pocket, smoking hemp seeds has the same effect than smoking a couscous joint, this are for EATING ONLY), sunflower, pumpkin, any of them will do the job.
- Add oil and vinegar and if you feel inspired -you have smoked the hemp seeds, haven’t you?-check out how to do a variety of dressings for your salad.
Enjoy!
