Big Grains Salad PT20M https://img5.cooker-king.com/201907/2019/0812/36/0/093187/300x200x90.jpg There's no true recipe for a big salad, but for this robust green meal, you will want to keep a few rules in mind. Skip the soft lettuces, which tend to get squashed in a big salad, and start with sturdier greens, like kale or escarole. Add fruits and vegetables, a protein, like a hard-boiled egg, and starch or two. You want a total of six to eight ingredients, before toppings. Too few, and it could get boring; too many, and the bowl gets crowded and confusing. Finish it off with a substantial dressing, like avocado, yogurt or tahini, and add a couple of toppings, like chives or chopped nuts. Serve with a side of whole-grain bread for a filling and healthy meal. 1 serving Ingredients: Whole-grain bread, for serving 2 tsp. Sliced or chopped nuts 2 tsp. Snipped chives 1 Hard-boiled egg, peeled and halved 1/2 Avocado, thinly sliced 1/4 cup Salad dressing 1/4 cup Thinly sliced raw vegetables 1 cup Roasted vegetables 1/2 cup Cooked grains 2 cups Sturdy salad greens
