Summer is the season of rainbow produce, offering us a bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables. With the forthcoming warmer weather and the need to abandon the grease in favor of lighter meals, now is the ideal time for delectable summer salads.
They’re great for breakfast, evening snacks, and even late-night meals because they’re packed with nutrients and tasty flavors in equal measure. What’s more, you can embellish your salad with the perfection of cheese and blessings of basil.
We are here to guide you through the journey of finding the best salads. Here, we have put together a list of some of the best salads that CAARA has to offer so that you don’t have to waste your time looking for them.
Cheese Platter
Cheese platters sound fascinating but scary as well! Well, this is not the case. You can make your cheese platter healthy and tasty very easily.
Cheese platters have long been a mainstay of the wine and dining world, and they’re the ideal complement to any party. However, they are frequently less than healthy, with a high-calorie content due to the abundance of dairy and wheat components. There’s also the question of how to arrange a cheese platter.
Well, it’s easy. A cheese platter can be as simple as putting cheese and crackers on a plate and calling it a cheese platter.
Here are some points you should focus on to make it healthy and make it a member of the salad tribe:
- Use low-fat cheese like ricotta, feta, etc.
- Look for a low sodium content – less than 230 mg per serving in crackers.
- Spend a little additional time and prepare some dips at home instead of buying store-bought dips that may be high in sugars and artificial additives. CAARA also offers some high-quality and additive-free dips like Basil pesto dip, tartar sauce, etc.
- Vegetables like celery and carrots can be chopped into sticks for simple dipping and adding a crisp texture.
