The Flavor-Packed High-Protein Salad I Can’t Stop Making
As I fall asleep at night, I often find myself thinking about what I’m going to make for dinner the next day. That’s totally normal, right? I mentally go over the contents of the refrigerator and conjure up healthy meals that will use what needs to be used, what I want to eat while it’s still in season, and what sounds delicious. I find the whole exercise very calming.
The Soy-Lime Beef and Cabbage Salad
One thing I know I can almost always count on having the ingredients for is this Soy-Lime Beef and Cabbage Salad. Deciding to make it may even prompt some happy dreams.
This beef salad had ingredients that were already in my house. When it was ready, I set it on the table and dove in – the aromas were so enticing I couldn’t resist. Two bites later, I knew I’d be making it again. It just hits all the right notes for me.
A High-Protein Salad with a Bonus
When I don’t know what to make for dinner, this recipe is just the thing to hit the spot. Plus, it’s a high-protein choice that also happens to be nut-free, dairy-free, and low-calorie. It’s got a lot of what my body needs.
Anemia and Iron Levels
As an active woman who has also experienced extreme anemia, I look for foods that help me build strong muscle and stay healthy and most importantly, that can keep my iron levels in the right zone. Having all of that, this recipe keeps me coming back.
Harmonious Ingredients and Customizations
When you make and then eat this salad, you’ll notice first that the ingredients are harmonious. The textures are terrific, with crunch and chew and bite, and you can choose any light salad dressing that’s snappy and satisfying. My personal favorite is NaGo’s Ginger Sesame Miso dressing, which I pick up at Costco.
Toasting Nuts for a Crunchy Garnish
You can also make lots of adjustments to satisfy your palate or to use up what you have on hand. For example, you can toast a half-cup of peanuts or almonds in a dry skillet until just starting to brown, then lightly chopping. After they cool, add them to the salad as a garnish.
A Recipe You Can Depend On
This is a delicious combination of flavors and an easy dinner option that you’ll find yourself coming back to again and again. And that’s what I consider eating well.
