The nutrients in fresh vegetables can be easily destroyed during cooking, and eating them raw allows for maximum absorption of various nutrients. A raw food method that young people prefer more is vegetable salad, so how can you eat salad healthily?
Salad as an appetizer Before eating the main course, if you start with a salad, you can reduce the calories consumed per meal by about 10%.
Chop vegetables into large pieces When preparing a vegetable salad, it's best not to chop the vegetables too finely. Each piece of vegetable should be of a size that can be eaten in one bite, to avoid it absorbing too much salad dressing due to being too fine, which leads to consuming excessive oil. Leafy vegetables are best torn by hand to keep them fresh.
Add lemon juice or white wine Adding a little fresh lemon juice or white wine to the salad dressing can prevent the vegetables from discoloring.
