How To Make Healthy Salad recipe for weight-loss

Hi everyone, I hope you're having a fantastic day today I'm going to be sharing with you guys how to make a salad using a mason jar this is perfect for school or work or just to prepare your lunch ahead of time so if you're interested in finding out how to make this just keep watching you're going to need some Tomatoes about a cup of chickpeas celery bell pepper a Portobello mushroom an avocado nuts received green onion and lots of baby green first we're gonna start off with the dressing you'll need some extra-virgin olive oil some grainy Dijon mustard some balsamic vinegar a little bit of tumeric and of course some sea salt and black pepper to taste now let's start mixing everything up.

So first I'm going to add the extra virgin olive oil I'm using about two to three tablespoons here next I'm going to add the grainy Dijon mustard about half a teaspoon you can really do it to taste next the balsamic vinegar you can also use apple cider vinegar and half a teaspoon of turmeric and then I'm just gonna see then with some sea salt and fresh ground pepper mix everything up with a little whisk or a fork just until all the ingredients are nicely incorporated together so let's start prepping our vegetables and fruit first off I'm just going to rinse everything to make sure they're nice and clean before we chop them up and I'm going to be starting with the bell peppers I'm using three colors here just because I think it looks pretty in the jars you can absolutely just use one or two colors I don't really like green peppers as much I don't find them as sweet

So I like to use the red yellow and orange bell peppers so I'm just roughly chopping them up this amount this amount of vegetables I'm going to be using in this video is enough to make to make some jar salads so just keep that in mind they're great just to kind of pre make the salads that way they're ready to bring to work or school or wherever next I'm going to take two stalks celery you only really need one stalk per mason jar so I'm just gonna cut off the ends and just quickly chop them up into bite-size pieces you can really chop them up in whatever sizes that you normally would eat your salads with and I'm just gonna quickly chop them up and next we're going to use some green onion you can definitely use any onion that you like I just find green onion is a little bit better to have at work I find that doesn't linger in your mouth the whole day so and I just love the taste that it gives in a salad I also use it in a lot of dressings that I make

So I'm just going to kind of chop them up in small pieces and like I said this is gonna be an effort to make some jar salads next I'm using my Orem cutting up my portobello mushroom you can use whatever mushroom you like I normally would also add cucumber to this recipe but I was all out when making this so instead I'm just going to be adding some avocado so I'm just gonna cut it in half take out the pit and then I'm going to score my avocado on kind of both ways kind of making little squares so I can easily just kind of scoop it out with a spoon thanks really easy to kind of cut up your avocado just be careful though when you're cutting it because the knife is kind of going towards your hand next we're going to cut up our Tomatoes I'm just gonna roughly chop those up and this is just an overview of all of our cut-up veggies prepped and ready to go into our mason jar and of course the greens and the seeds and the chickpeas don't have to prepare they're already done I'm going to take this large mason jar I'm not really sure what size this is I can link it down below and I'm just going to take my dressing and fill that up in the mason jar the dressing goats first that way it doesn't make your green soggy next you're going to put in your hard vegetables so anything like your celery your peppers carrots any radishes harder vegetables go on the bottom because they're not going to get soggy from the dressings and next we're going to add whatever beans or grains that you would like you could also put cooked quinoa millet whatever you like in this recipe I just happen to have some chickpeas on hand next you're gonna add in your softer fruit and vegetables

So I'm adding in my mushroom in my avocado and my tomato here because they are a little bit more softer and could get soggy with the dressing and last but not least actually it's the second-last greens and  go on top because they are most likely to get soggy from the dressing so pretty much that's how you layer it just from hardest to softest and that way everything will stay nice and crisp for when you're ready to eat it so this is what they looked like they're super fun especially to take to work or school I'm sure a lot of people are gonna ask you you know where you got your salads from or how did you make them and they're just a lot of fun to eat out of
