In fact, many salads that we like can be made in a lighter version if you adjust the recipe. You can replace:
- pork - veal or turkey;
- smoked chicken or fish – boiled;
- mayonnaise - sour cream or yogurt, adding a little mustard, salt, pepper and lemon juice;
- potatoes - Jerusalem artichoke;
- fatty cheese – light cheese, tofu;
- fried mushrooms or vegetables - stewed or boiled.
Recipes for other salads sometimes require adjustments by increasing the proportion of low-calorie foods and, accordingly, reducing the percentage of ingredients that have high energy value. Most often you have to increase the amount of vegetables, decrease the amount of eggs, cheese, avocados, and nuts.
When choosing ingredients for a dietary salad, emphasis should be placed on:
- on fish and seafood;
- lean poultry (chicken, turkey);
- fresh vegetables and fruits;
- greenery;
- white yoghurt or matsoni.
These products rarely have contraindications and are recommended for almost all types of dietary nutrition.

How to dress salads for weight loss?
Forget about such a popular sauce as mayonnaise. It can ruin all your efforts to achieve your ideal weight. Mayonnaise is too high in calories, so it should be replaced with fermented milk products. For example, natural yogurt or low-fat kefir. The bifidobacteria contained in them will help the stomach digest fiber.
It is recommended to season dietary salads with olive oil or a mixture of vegetable oil and lemon juice. This is the dressing that is recommended for those who dream of a wasp waist.
