Your salad can be more than a big bowl of leafy greens. In fact, a healthy and filling salad doesn’t have to include lettuce at all. You can toss tasty mix-ins like nuts and cheese with your favorite fruits, veggies, and whole grains to create tasty, satisfying, and 100 percent lettuce-free meals.
Worried about missing out on necessary nutrients? Don’t be! Foods like tomatoes, cucumbers, quinoa, and avocado are loaded with the essentials.
