Salad Days Are Here To Stay……….”Carlo’s Salvation”

A couple of days ago I skype’d with my friend Carlos in Argentina. He informed me that he has decided to practice a healthier life style from here on.
As part of his new lifestyle, he intends to be eating lot’s of veggies and salads. However, he’s big worry is that salads and veggies are “boring” and “not real meals”.
Well, I put his mind at ease and we talked for nearly an hour about the huge variety of veggies and salads, the myriad of recipes, different ways of preparation and the endless number of combinations possible.
I also reminded him that a salad or vegetable dish can include healthy options of protein, such as poultry, seafood, game, any kind of lean meat, etc, etc.
I further reminded him that if he fancy’s a dish that he likes which has an ingredient he’d rather not eat (bacon?), he can either just substitute it with something more to his liking, or just omit it.
Furthermore, for a large variety of healthy suggestions and inspirations, there is always
“HANS’ LIGHTER, HEALTHIER COMFORT FOOD” 🙂

Thank you, Anneli.
In Florida, salads are popular all year round, which is a main reason to be flexible with ingredients and cooking methods (grilled, steamed, roasted, raw, sauteed, etc:-)
