Meal ingredients straight from your kitchen garden

 Do you want to eat healthily and can't spend much? Well keep reading this article and it is going to help you in one way or another. Who doesn't want to look fit and healthy? Let's talk about some salads you can make by simply using items lying around in your kitchen.

                                                

 Taking the correct diet never goes out of style. Wanting to lose weight by eating healthy doesn't mean you can't have fun with your meals. Personally, it is so difficult to keep up with a strict diet when the only thing you love is food. Play around with your salad bowls. Keep adding different veggies, fruits, and anything you like.

 

 What veggies to include?

You can add whatever veggies you like or depending on the season. Keep changing the ingredients on a daily basis; this would be fun to eat. You should feel attracted to your bowl, funny? No? Well, this is going to help you stay healthy. Let's discuss common veggies that you can easily find.

  1. Iceberg lettuce

 Well, iceberg lettuce is a must to have in your green salad. What is the purpose of eating a salad if you don't get that crunch? Got my point? Put in as many green veggies as you like.

  1. Cucumber and onion

We are talking about pocket-friendly salad bowls. So, cucumber and onion are going to be in it, obviously. You can easily find these two in your kitchen. I personally like to add onion to a salad for that sour taste. Cucumber is a very good option to put in.

  1. Bell pepper

Use this vegetable for that fun, colorful vibe. Use whatever color you like. Cut in rings, square, or chop it as you like. It gives your salad bowl a nice funky touch.

  1. Tomato

Some people don't like to eat tomatoes in their salads, well, I am some people. Use tomatoes in slices or dice them. It is up to you. You can add cherry instead if you don't like tomatoes.

  1. Black olives

This specific ingredient is my favorite. You can skip or add anything according to your preference. Changing items will give you a new taste every day.

  1. Spinach

What would a salad bowl look like without spinach? Bland. Yeah, you heard it right bland. Add in whatever way you want. Dice it, blend it. In any way, it is going to benefit you.

  1. Broccoli

If you want to give your salad a fancy look, go ahead and add broccoli. This cute little vegetable has many nutritional benefits. Boil it and it is ready to eat.

  1. Coriander

It is kind of the most underrated veggie. I like to add coriander for a colorful dressing. You can use it in many other ways also.

 What everyday Salad dressing ingredients you should have:

 

Everyone has their own go-to dressing items that are easily available. Match and mix ingredients that are versatile and easy enough to make.

 I like to add things that can be easily made from scratch. The best dressings can be salt, pepper, garlic (chopped or diced), coriander, cheese, or mayonnaise. See, you have all these things in your kitchen. 

 

 Recipes for your go-to salads:

 

Easy! All you have to do is mix or stir all your ingredients well and there you go. My go-to recipes are simple and easy on the pocket. So, I can have a variety to eat.

 

  1. Take a bowl. Add cucumber, onion, any green veggie you like, 2-3 olives, tomato, spinach, salt, pepper, 1 green chili ( for that spice flavor), mix all the ingredients and there you go. Happy eating!
  2. In a pot. Add iceberg lettuce, tomato, onion, bell pepper ( for a colorful vibe), cucumber, salt, and pepper, and squeeze half lemon. Mix or stir all the items well. In no time, your go-to salad is ready.

 Remember one thing you can mix different veggies and items as per your preference. Eating healthy doesn't mean sticking to boring meals. Go out of your way. Make it fun. Add sweetener if you like. As I said earlier, play with your meals.
