More About Healthy Fresh Salads
Healthy Fresh Salads is for you if:
- You want to start making healthier choices for yourself and your family but don’t want to eat boring and tasteless “health food”
- You are looking for great recipes so you can mix things up and not serve the same dishes all the time
- You have lots of picky eaters in your house who say they won’t eat healthy meals
- You follow a gluten-free diet or know someone with celiac who you want to be able to make yummy meals for
- Your biggest barrier to cooking healthy meals is cost because you think fresh produce is expensive.
- You want to learn more about which fruits and vegetables are the healthiest and why
Everyone knows they need to be eating lots of veggies, but the thought of eating another salad made with lettuce from a bag and store bought dressing makes everyone want to yawn with boredom.
Extras
Healthy Fresh Salads also contains information on why it is important to eat the rainbow, nope not Skittles, but a variety of colourful vegetables. It explains how to properly clean your veggies and talks about Genetically Modified Organisms and why we should avoid them. I also wrote a chapter with tips and tricks on how to buy fresh produce without spending tonnes of money.
Recipes for everyone!
Healthy Fresh Salads contains recipes for everyone. Gluten can cause digestive issues and other health-related issues for a lot of people, so I made sure that every recipe in this cookbook is gluten-free. Many of them are also sugar-free, no soy, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, and paleo.
- 28 of the recipes are vegetarian
- 27 of the recipes are dairy free
- 27 of the recipes are no soy
- 17 of the recipes are vegan
- 11 of the recipes are completely sugar-free
All of the recipes can easily be made vegan, vegetarian, or dairy-free by either leaving out the animal protein/cheese or using maple syrup in place of honey.
Jesse Lane, a salad-loving holistic nutritionist
I have always been a veggie lover and always ate my trees (aka broccoli) when I was younger, unlike my sisters who hid them in napkins or threw them into the back yard when they thought my mom wasn’t looking!
Before I became a Holistic Nutritionist, I worked as a Civil Engineer. I knew that buying lunch every day would not only cost a lot of money but would also be detrimental to my health, so I always packed a salad for lunch. I literally ate a salad every day for the 7 years I worked as an engineer, that works out to roughly 1,700 salads!!!
I quickly had to get creative with the salads I was making because I could not eat the same salad every day for 1,700 days!
I started playing with what I was putting in my salads and the types of dressing I was using. I changed up the greens, varied the veggies, and experimented with different proteins. I created thin oil based dressings and thick and creamy dressings (which are my personal favourite). I also started adding starches like brown rice and roasted sweet potatoes to my salads.
Not every salad was a winner, but after 7 years of salad making, I got pretty good at creating delicious and filling combinations. I’m excited to share those salads with you today.
