Summertime is for salads, right? It’s too damn hot to worry about cooking. And there are so many great fresh vegetables available at the store or farmer’s market—flavorful peppers, crisp snap peas and ripe, juicy corn. Why not put them to good use? That was my thinking anyway. I like to eat healthy, but too many times, I was disappointed with a homemade salad. It was a whole lot of work, chopping up all the lettuce and veggies, and by the end of the meal, I never felt all that satisfied. I was either still hungry or the taste just wasn’t like the really good salads I enjoyed when eating out.
But I’m no quitter. So after a few weeks of earnest experimenting, I’ve nailed the hungry man’s salad game plan. It’s not difficult. It’s not expensive. But it is guaranteed to satisfy. That’s because they’re flavorful, filled with texture and packed with enough protein to keep you full and feed your muscles. Herewith, a five step plan to build your own recipes to suit your tastes. What’s more, when you make a big batch, you’ve got at least two lunches for the week in addition to dinner. Scroll to the bottom of this article to learn why that’s so important.
