4 Ways to Make Your Salad More Exciting

Posted by Manitoba Harvest on March 19th, 2020

The Caesar salad is a classic, but after making and eating the same salad for lunch a few too many times, you might be looking to mix it up. There are plenty of ways to make your salad more exciting. How do you take your salad on the go? What is hemp oil? How do you make your own croutons? With these tips, the answers will help you elevate your salad game and bring excitement back to your meals.

Grill Your Veggies

Add a little bit of charred flavor into your salad by grilling your veggies. You could grill veggies such as bell pepper, onion, and corn. Add them to lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and avocado, and you’ve got an exciting salad! While grilling can take about a half-hour, the extra work is worth it. If you are still feeling adventurous, try adding hemp hearts on top of the salad. Serve with a pesto dressing.

Incorporate Hemp Oil

One of the best hemp oil uses is incorporating it into a salad dressing. For example, mix a pomegranate hemp vinaigrette with pomegranate vinegar, stone ground mustard, hemp oil, olive oil, and sea salt. This is the perfect way of adding a plant-based superfood to your salad. Which salad? Try a root vegetable salad, with avocado oil, bulb fennel, parsnip, carrots, beets, arugula, orange, fennel leaves, and salt and pepper to taste. Add more hemp goodness with hemp hearts.

Add Some Homemade Crunch

While you can buy croutons, they often lack flavor, and you can’t control the amount of crunch. Instead, add your own crunch with homemade protein croutons, with chickpea flour, garlic powder, sea salt, hemp hearts, chopped fresh rosemary, and olive oil. Once baked, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and toss to coat. Throw these on a salad of romaine, lacinato or curly kale, and pomegranate seeds, along with more hemp hearts. Make a dressing with hemp hearts, water, fresh lemon juice, hemp oil, nutritional yeast, white wine vinegar, garlic Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper.

Jar It Up

Speaking of crunch, putting a salad in a jar, such as a mason jar, makes it highly portable and enables you to enjoy a customized salad on the go. Need a salad for lunch at work? Prepare this Waldorf salad beforehand and throw it in the company fridge. Start with a layer of cucumber dill dressing (or any creamy dressing), layer with celery, red onion, chicken breast chopped into chunks, a chopped gala apple, hemp hearts, walnuts, and top with romaine lettuce. Put on the lid and refrigerate until you are ready to eat.
