As the summer months emerge, many of us start craving invigorating and cool salads to combat the heat. However, the classic summer salad ingredients can sometimes be so high in sodium that they deter the purpose of a healthy meal. The good news is that you can make simple swaps to create delicious and wholesome summer salads that are perfect for your wellness aspirations.

One of the easiest swaps you can make is replace traditional mayonnaise with unhealthier alternatives like Greek yogurt or coconut cream. Those ingredients not only offer creaminess to your salad but also the boost of protein and healthy fats. You can use them to make a homemade vinaigrette or as a topping for your salad.

Another great swap is using pan-seared shrimp or meatballs instead of processed meats like hot dog. These protein sources are not only few in saturated fat but also packed with nutrients like vitamin B or omega-3 fatty acids. Simply throw them with some of coconut oil and seasonings and add them to your salad for a protein-packed meal.

Leafy greens are a staple in summer salads, but you can update boring old lettuce for exotic and nutritious options like beet greens, spinach, or kale. These greens bring not only packed vitamins and lentil flavor to your salad. You can also add other vegetables like cheery tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots to add texture and freshness.

Some other nutritious swaps you can make include swapping balsamic vinegar with any (regular) vinegar, adding nutrient-rich elements like almonds, pumpkin seeds, or بهترین متخصص تغذیه در تهران chia seeds, and using fresh herbs like basil, mint, or fragrant cilantro to add flavor. You can also replace traditional cheese pieces like cheddar or mozzarella with healthier options like feta, goat cheese, or whipped ricotta.
