Insalata

How to make Salad - Eat healthy way

I am a big Olive Garden salad fan. I would order an entree just to hog on those complimentary salads and bread sticks OG serves. If you are watching your calories or trying to get rid of that extra flab here you go ..
This salad is so much flavorful that you want to eat healthy way every day ..


Here is what we need -

  • 2 cups bite sized cut Lettuce head
  • 1 cup shredded or thin sliced carrot
  • 1/4 cup thin sliced red onion
  • handful black grapes (use any seasonal fruit - papaya, watermelon, green grapes, pear)
  • 1/2 apple (use any seasonal fruit or a fruit of your choice - papaya, watermelon, green grapes, pear)
  • 1 sliced hard boiled egg ( we discard egg yolk as we like only egg white )
  • 1 tbs Sweet Italian dressing ( The brand that I use is Marzetti)
  • handful bread croutons
  • dry powdered Parmesan cheese

whats Next -

In a large bowl mix Lettuce, carrot, onion, grapes, apple, egg white, croutons, add the dressing and top it with dry Parmesan cheese.

This salad is very filling. You could use vegetables and fruits of your liking keeping lettuce as a base.

Buon Appetito!
