Today we're making a light, refreshing salad, perfect for lunch or dinner.
I make salads like this almost every week.
Crunchy vegetables like celery are packed with fiber and give me a natural boost of
energy through the day.
Celery is also super low in calories, so it's a great way to add volume to a meal without
weighing you down.
Now let's add some juicy cherry tomatoes.
Cherry tomatoes, halved.
Cherry tomatoes are little bursts of sweetness, and they're loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants
that support your immune system.
Speaking of which, where are you joining me from today?
Drop your city in the comments, I love reading through them.
This salad actually keeps really well in the fridge for a couple of days, so it's perfect
for meal prepping ahead of a busy week.
Between the cucumber and celery, you get that satisfying crunch, and the tomatoes bring
the freshness and juiciness.
If you like prepping meals in advance, this recipe is definitely one to save.
Now let's work on the lettuce.
It's going to be the base of this whole dish.
Romaine or iceberg both work beautifully here.
Lettuce adds volume and a light crisp freshness, plus it's hydrating and easy on digestion.
I love when a bowl has all these different textures working together, crunchy and soft
at the same time.
This salad works just as well as a full meal on its own, or as a side dish.
If this is your first time making it, don't worry, it's really simple.
In just a minute, we'll chop up the lettuce and keep moving.
Toss everything well, and it's already ready to store in the fridge like this, if you want
to prep ahead.
Making it the night before is super convenient, you just add the dressing in the morning.
Now let's bring in a bit of plant-based protein with some canned beans.
Canned beans, rinsed.
Beans add hardiness and staying power to this salad.
They're packed with plant protein and fiber that help keep you satisfied for hours.
Make sure to rinse the beans well before adding them in.
I love simple additions like this, that turn a salad into a complete, balanced meal.
Now let's put together the dressing.
This is what ties every flavor in the bowl together.
A good dressing can completely transform even the simplest salad.
Lemon juice.
Lemon juice brings a bright, fresh tang to the dressing, plus a nice dose of vitamin C.
Now let's add a bit of mustard for some sharpness.
Mustard, olive oil, salt, to taste.
Olive oil rounds the dressing out with those healthy fats your body actually needs, and
it gives everything a rich, smooth finish.
Let's whisk it all together, and the dressing will be ready.
Mix well, and the dressing is done.
This dressing is great on more than just this salad.
Keep it in mind for other meals, too.
Let's finish with a little grated Parmesan for extra flavor.
Grated Parmesan.
Parmesan adds this rich, nutty depth to the whole dish.
Just toss everything together one more time, and the salad is almost ready.
Toss well.
Look how vibrant and appetizing this salad turned out.
So many of you tell me you're looking for simple, filling recipes, and this is exactly
that kind of dish.
Just one final touch left, and it's completely done.
Last but not least, homemade croutons.

Homemade croutons taste so much better than the store-bought kind.
Plus, you know exactly what's going into them.
Nothing hidden, nothing you can't pronounce.
